La La Land (2016)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
One of the great movies of the 2017 Oscars, which is both an ode to classic musicals and to Los Angeles. This is a story about aspirations and dreams, but also about how life takes us down paths different from the ones we planned. With irresistible performances - especially from Emma Stone - this is a movie with many impacts. You can be happy with the joy of some moments and with its colors, or sad recognizing that the frustrations of the characters can also be yours.

The Stunt Double
Stunt doubles also deserve happy endings. This is one of the messages of the short film directed by the award-winning director Damien Chazelle - winner of the Oscar for Best Director for 'La La Land: Singing Seasons'. Here, in 'The Stunt Double', the filmmaker shows a new way of seeing cinema, vertically, and filmed entirely with a cell phone. The film delivers a sensitive and different story, taking into account that the work of stunt doubles is so important and rarely recognized. In less than 10 minutes you can get emotional, laugh and be enchanted with Chazelle's great direction - leaving the viewer with a taste of wanting more. Released for free on YouTube.
First Man
Damien Chazelle (of 'La La Land') brings his more human and less heroic vision of Neil Armstrong, the first man to step on the moon. With empathy and closeness, the film presents us the man, his fears, problems, losses, qualities and flaws - while reconstructing the events of the space race that took Apollo 11 to land on the arid satellite in orbit around Earth. Although it does not look like the director's previous projects, it is a feature capable of captivating those who seek both historical narrative and those who want to see the human adventure.
Whiplash
A simple yet powerful movie. Created from the ideas of then-novice director Damien Chazelle, this film uses music as a starting point for a visceral and impactful story. Special mention to the great performance of J.K. Simmons, which, along with Chazelle's direction, raises the tension that the movie builds. No wonder the feature film went through several festivals and was highly awarded.
Babylon
After winning the Oscar for Best Direction for the delightful and romantic 'La La Land', filmmaker Damien Chazelle returns to what he knows and loves to do: emotional stories involving the world of art. After talking twice about music (also in 'Whiplash', his first feature film), now he focuses his camera on Hollywood in the 1920s and 1930s. At that time, the cradle of Western cinema was undergoing intense transformation, from silent films to talking films. From this, with the story of the characters Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie) and Manny Torres (Diego Calva), we understand more about the challenges of this universe, with scenes ranging from scatology to drama, from comedy to nonsense. It is a journey through genres that, deep down, also pays clear and sensitive homage to cinema - with references to classics such as 'Singing in the Rain' and 'Sunset Boulevard', for example. All this with great performances, especially from Robbie ('Birds of Prey') and Calva ('Narcos: Mexico'). There are those who don't like the movie, calling it exaggerated, off-tone and so on. But believe me: this Dante-esque production by Chazelle can win you over.
Comedy
Carmen Vidal: Mujer Detective
Carmen Vidal is a private detective addicted to pizza, beer and marijuana who fights against a criminal Senator to avenge the death of her colleague, in a modern film noir about self-improvement.
Magic Mike's Last Dance
“Magic” Mike Lane takes to the stage again after a lengthy hiatus, following a business deal that went bust, leaving him broke and taking bartender gigs in Florida. For what he hopes will be one last hurrah, Mike heads to London with a wealthy socialite who lures him with an offer he can’t refuse…and an agenda all her own. With everything on the line, once Mike discovers what she truly has in mind, will he—and the roster of hot new dancers he’ll have to whip into shape—be able to pull it off?
Cocaine Bear
Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow and blood.
Have a Nice Day!
From the same director of "Todas las sardinas del mundo" and the series "La Casa de las Flores," the Mexican feature film "Come Back Soon!" is an incredibly charming film. The story follows the journey of a retired radio announcer in Mexico who decides to work at a market to earn some money. His goal is very special: to attend a party where he hopes to find his true love, with the help of two young men who work at the market. A simple and functional film that shows with lightness how dreams last forever - despite age.
