Where To Watch La La Land

More details about La La Land and where you can watch

One of the most interesting facts about La La Land is that Ryan Gosling learned to play jazz piano for the film and performed the piano scenes himself without using a hand double. Director Damien Chazelle wanted the musical performances to feel authentic, so Gosling spent months practising. The film also pays tribute to classic Hollywood musicals such as Singin’ in the Rain and An American in Paris, using colourful costumes, expressive choreography, and dreamlike sequences. Its famous opening number, Another Day of Sun, was filmed on a Los Angeles freeway ramp and features dancers performing around stopped cars. Another fascinating detail is that the planetarium sequence between Mia and Sebastian was created using elaborate choreography and visual effects to make their romantic dance appear as though they were floating among the stars. The film received 14 Academy Award nominations, tying the record at the time, and won six Oscars. Its bittersweet ending is particularly memorable because it explores how different life choices can lead people toward success while changing their relationships forever.
