Chazelles riveting storytelling and Stone-Goslings terrific performances make you relive the nervous excitement of first love and the devastating emotions of shattered dreams. This lyrical masterpiece brings every dreamers fantasy and fears to life. It recreatesHollywood movie magic, right from the spectacular single-take opening song(Another Day of Sun), where motorists sing and dance atop their cars on a clogged LA freeway.
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
seasons signify the highs and lows in Mia and Sebastians seemingly idyllic relationship. Life may not pan out the way youd desired but true love makes it worthwhile
this message lies at the heart of Chazelles basic but soul-stirring tale. The underlying conflict between hopes, wishes and reality never seemed so real.
Though the film is hopelessly romantic, its equally relatable. You can see yourself through the eyes of its vulnerable protagonists, making their tale, your own.
Interestingly, Justin Hurwitz’s soulful music is an extension of the characters state of mind. Sung by Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, City of Stars is a classic melancholy tune thats bound to melt your heart.
The performances and chemistry between the lead actors is remarkable. Gosling shines as a prickly Jazz purist, who conceals his emotions while Stone stands out as the sparkly girl, whose eyes speak a million words. Together they are magical and so is this eternal love ballad that will change the way you look at life.
