Damien Chazelle: You have to remember that name because if anything goes wrong, this young 31 year old seems destined to give many hours of good cinema, such as he did with ‘ La La Land ‘, the musical Wednesday 31 August 2016 opened the 73rd Venice Film Festival.
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling sing and dance in this work on a aspirant actress who works as a waitress and a pianist of jazz who dreams of opening his own club . And the applause already heard a few minutes into the film , after a funny musical number in one of those so frequent highways in the city of Los Angeles with dance between cars during a jam in the famous city.
Even fewer fans gender succumbed to the outburst of a story about two dreamers who manages to unite the magic film , the excitement of the music and fascination that always arouses Hollywood in a romantic and bittersweet love story in which the director has had detail to avoid the spectator syrupy.
Chazelle dares even to dance to the characters between the Star the sky, and though it was not easy, nor is it about the kitsch . Surely by the grace of the music Hurwitz Justin , who has worked with Chazelle on his second feature, ‘ Whiplash ‘ (2014) on a young man who wants to be battery and demanding teacher. The film won three Oscar .
“I think more than ever we need hope and romance on the screen,” the director, for whom the film said Venice are precisely the territory of dreams. And one of the merits of Chazelle is to rescue the music adapted to today.
Although many take for dead gender , the director believes that the music before have become timeless precisely simple , and that’s what he it has sought to do so contemporary, eliminating that cloyingly happy ending that characterizes them.
And there is nothing bitterness it, but melancholy , said the director, for whom the best stories are those that do not have a ” happy end “, but those in which players just separated.
Emma Stone , who came smiling and with a flattering dress flowers , said he spoke to the Director about his experiences as aspirant actress when it came to Hollywood 15 years and some of the humiliating experiences.
She always have her happy musicals, so he is immensely grateful to Chazelle for this opportunity allowed to turn a dream into reality. In his opinion, the value of this film also is that there is nothing cynicism .
“This is a film about working hard to get something. Many young people have fallen into the cynicism and mockery and I hope that, if you see that if you work hard, you can accomplish things, “he said Stone, who in February verging on statuette as best actress ( ‘Birdman’).
The only disappointment of the day was not to see Gosling ( ‘ Drive ‘). The player with a face intended to remain for lustrums in the folders teens continues to seek new challenges in interpretation and just touch the piano that is launched to tap dance in ‘ La La Land’ .
Finally he failed to arrive in time to defend the tape. It is not the first time that Stone and Gosling tabajan together, but the actress once said you dance with someone, you know all of that person.
And that sync has also allowed that together evoke a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in this successful attempt to revive the music signing Chazelle. The director has provided a good start festival Italian, but the reality is imposed.
And the reality is that large concentrations people have become a nightmare authorities for reasons of security . The area where develops the festival on the Venetian island of Lido , is today a small “ strength “, according to the director of the Venice Biennale Paolo Baratta .
They draw attention to the concrete blocks covered with posters festival to prevent access of vehicles unwanted. Also it has also increased the presence of security forces.
festival also decided to cancel the opening dinner recent earthquake that devastated the center of Italy and has cost the lives of about 300 people. The director Damien Chazelle started action with words of remembrance for the victims.
In addition, the Polish director Jerzy Skolimowsky ( ‘Le Départ’ Golden Bear in Berlin in 1967) is the Golden Lion with your race hands Jeremy Irons , the protagonist of ‘ Moonlighting ‘, one of his most successful of critic and public works.
At 78, the actor said he sees this distinction as a reward for what he has done and what it will do. “I hope to prove that I deserve this huge honor . I think there are some people who I have yet to convince,” he said at a news conference.
‘ La La Land ‘ is the first title presented in competition at the festival and the jury presiding Sam Mendes still has another 19 work to see until next September 10. In recent years there are some films opening Venice that ended with Oscar although they were empty of the city of canals. And the most recent case is ‘ Birdman ‘, the Mexican Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu . Demian Chazell can already begin to dream.
