La La Land - Free-Market Film Analysis

Tonight, the stars align for La La Land.  We’re going to chasse our way through this musical rom-com that celebrates old Hollywood with a hint of jazz with our friend Miguel Duque of Amagi Entrepreneurs. La La Land is a 2016 American romantic musical film written and directed by Damien Chazelle. It stars Ryan Gosling as a jazz pianist and Emma Stone as an aspiring actress, who meet and fall in love while pursuing their dreams in Los Angeles. I’m not sure which angle we’re going to take on this one, and though I suspect that Robert loathes musicals on principle, I have a feeling that he has a soft spot for this one. For next week we are going to do a movie that just a few months ago felt a long way off in the US, but all of a sudden it feels all too real as we explore the East German Stasi in ‘The Lives of Others’ with our good friend, Jon Reed.
