It’s lovely to see a change in films bringing us a romantic musical. Known for writing the film WHIPLASH, Damien [embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pdqf4P9MB8[/embedyt]Chazelle brings us a happy feel good film with an outstanding performance by Ryan Gosling. Not surprising that LA LA LAND won so many Golden Globe awards.
Ryan Gosling is a talented dancer and musician! Amazing how he took over the stage.
