DIRECTED by Damien Chazelle and starring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Amiée Conn, La La Land hits the Adam Smith Theatre this month.
The film, which picked up awards at the Oscars last weekend, will be on the Adam Smith screen on Saturday March 25.
This is an old school romantic-musical-comedy - stylistically reminiscent of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg or New York New York - a love letter to Hollywood movies of the 40’s and 50’s. Aspiring actress Mia and jazz musician Sebastian are both down on their luck in Los Angeles, a city of broken dreams.
Tired of being rejected in auditions and reduced to serving stars their coffees, Mia stumbles into a jazz club to the entrancing melody of a piano being played within; there she finds Sebastian, who is being discarded by his boss.
The two soon fall in love as they strive to truly make something of themselves. But the rocky road of pursuing their dreams may prove too much strain for their budding romance to bear.
