If you’re not finished swooning over the gorgeous visuals and infectious soundtrack in La La Land, feast your eyes and ears on a brand new clip. The movie centers on an aspiring actress named Mia (Emma Stone) and struggling jazz musician named Sebastian who are both pursuing their dreams in the City of Angels. As their careers start to kick off, they must choose between love and the spotlight. Previous clips have focused on Stone and Gosling, but this one puts John Legend, who also stars in the film, at center stage.
The song “Start a Fire” appears on the soundtrack and is among my favorites of the film. In a time where we’re facing an uncertain economy and political future, this serves as a great distraction. Plus, how can you go wrong with John Legend?
The film has already picked up numerous awards, including the Critics Choice for Best Picture and Best Director. It’s also been nominated for several Golden Globes, like Best Musical or Comedy, Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, Best Original Score and Best Screenplay.
La La Land is out in theaters now.
