La La land (2016 Damien Chazelle & scr)

Is that umbrellas poster on the wall in Mia's apartment The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, I wondered. No, it turns out to be an ad for Revel from the 1920s, designed by Leonetto Cappietto. Shame, as that would have fitted in perfectly with my theory about these two films.



Emma's incredible, Oscar-worthy single live take 'Audition' is three and a half minutes.

Is this Bergman again?




I had no idea how incredibly divisive this film is until a couple of our closest friends said - much to our surprise - that they hated it (admittedly one of them watched it on the day Trump was elected and said she was so angry that likely any film would have infuriated her!)
