#19 - La La Land (2016) ~ January 30
During the first four fifth of the film I wasn't really that impressed. Granted, there were some very well made scenes and the whole film looks gorgeous, but I wasn't touched by anything. Nothing completely sucked me in. Then the fifth part starts and it's pure musical art. Absolutely stunning!
I didn't cry like I did with
Umbrellas of Cherbourg's ending, because the build-up wasn't strong enough for it to have that kind of magical effect on me, but I still felt a certain thrill of satisfaction.
So, all in all, I can't call this film a complete success for me, but I can't really say that I'm disappointed either. I'll definitely revisit that last part a few more times in the future!
P.S. I'm going to Paris for three days with my girlfriend, so expect my next update to be in about four days. I've watched 19 new films in January. I'm quite glad with that, considering I couldn't watch much in the beginning because I had an exam on the 12th. I'll try to reach the same number in Februay, which is a shorter month.
Thanks for all the reps and reactions so far. I'm enjoying this!
