LA LA LAND<\/strong>
\nSummit Entertainment (A Division of Lionsgate Films)<\/strong>

\nWritten by: Damien Chazelle<\/strong>

If you\u2019re of a certain age or simply catch up on movies made before you were born, you are likely to say \u201cThey don\u2019t write musicals the way they used to.\u201d\u00a0 You\u2019re thinking of the oeuvre of George M. Cohan, George and Ira Gershwin, Alan J. Lerner and Frederick Loewe, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein.\u00a0 Some of their traditional musicals are revived on Broadway, and deservedly so.\u00a0 Consider \u201cMy Fair Lady,\u201d the perfect musical; South Pacific with its outdated(?) theme of racial tension, \u201cYankee Doodle Dandy, which features a stirring performance by the great James Cagney.\u00a0 The splashy modern musicals are no slouches: think of the ones still playing on Broadway like \u201cChicago,\u201d \u201cLes Mis\u00e9rables,\u201d \u201cThe Phantom of the Opera.\u201d\u00a0 The distinction between the old and the new is more a line drawn on sand than on stone.\u00a0 Capitalizing on the idea of doing a traditional musical, Damien Chazelle, whose \u201cWhiplash\u201d shows him as a man who understands and loves jazz, knocks out \u201cLa La Land\u201d (a slang term for Los Angeles) with an opening and closing that will look familiar to any who have taken in the lavish spectacles of the forties and fifties.\u00a0 \u201cLa La Land\u201d opens with a small screen logo of the company, Summit Entertainment, then surprises the audience with an expanded screen and a mention that this is a Cinemascope production.\u00a0 At the conclusion, we see the letters \u201cThe End.\u201d Now that\u2019s something you don\u2019t see at movie endings any more.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa La Land\u201d is the sort of musical that might find a better environment off-Broadway than in the big ones, with one exception, the spectacular opening number, a single take, choreographed with brilliance and sung with abandon but a diversified group of Los Angeles drivers and passengers in one of those daily, tortuous jams.\u00a0 When one driver in a convertible, Sebastian Wilder (Ryan Gosling) honks and passes the auto driven by Mia Dolan (Emma Stone), Mia gives him the finger, which is not the best way to start a romantic relationship, but in this case, absent the bird, there would be no coupling off.<\/p>\n

Hearing music back on land Mia enters a crowded restaurant to find Sebastian, who at first conforms to the manager\u2019s demand that he play Christmas clich\u00e9s but then takes off with the kind of jazz piano he knows and loves.\u00a0 This gets him fired by the boss (J.K. Simmons), so, teed off, he knocks Mia on the shoulder as he passes Mia\u2014which qualifies as a meet-cute.\u00a0 For Mia, this is love at first sight; never mind that she doesn\u2019t like him.<\/p>\n

They get together, they talk, they dance, they click. They find out that they\u2019re not simply drivers: they are human beings young enough to hold onto dreams.\u00a0 Sebastian likes jazz, but only the kind that he considers pure.\u00a0 He tries to influence Mia to share his affection for the music.\u00a0 In the planetarium they dance, literally rising through the air like a modern Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse, gazing at the stars above, sharing their fantasies.\u00a0 He wants to stop playing what the band leaders want and to start his own club.\u00a0 She wants to be an actress, and takes off from her job as barista in the Warner lot whenever her smartphone informs her of an audition.<\/p>\n

Mimicking the splashy colors favored by Jacques Demy in \u201cThe Umbrellas of Cherbourg\u201d\u2014which featured the stunning Catherine Deneuve as a 17-year-old in the French town of Cherbourg\u2014and Demy\u2019s use of saturated colors in \u201cThe Young Girls of Rochefort\u201d, Chazelle alternates dazzlers like the opening scene, with fast-moving jazz compositions, Gosling on the keyboard, and slow, moody, lyrical songs.\u00a0 Unlike \u201cSouth Pacific,\u201d \u201cMy Fair Lady,\u201d \u201cMeet Me in St. Louis,\u201d \u201cThe Music Man\u201d and scores of other musicals, there are no memorable songs in \u201cLa La Land,\u201d nor are the lyrics that clear to make out.\u00a0 The dancing cannot match that of the pros like the aforementioned Astaire and Charisse and the singing is not on the level of South Pacific\u2019s Ezio Pinza.\u00a0 Nor does it have to be.\u00a0 Though many critics will rave and gush, ultimately this is a middling musical measured against the gold standard works of the forties and fifties but is well worth a visit for setting a romantic mood, enjoying the jazz, and feeling as good as you can after the recent political debacle in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Rated PG-13.\u00a0 128 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
