Why watch this film?
A simple yet powerful movie. Brought to life by then-novice director Damien Chazelle, this film uses music as a starting point for a visceral and impactful story. Outstanding acting by J.K. Simmons, paired with Chazelle's direction, raises the tension that the film builds. It is no wonder that the feature passed through several festivals and was immensely awarded.

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.

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.

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.

La La Land
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 Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
