6) La La Land (2016)

Set in Los Angeles, Damien Chazelle's La La Land tells the story of two aspiring artists, Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), who meet and fall in love while struggling with success in their respective careers. Their path together represents the dichotomy between love and ambition and how sometimes pursuing individual dreams can drift apart people. La La Land is a bittersweet analysis of love showing how passion and dreams can seemingly coexist but that they may not lead to that fairy-tale ending we often expect.
