La La Land, by Damien Chazelle, is a musical romance of ambition, love, and loss in a dream world. Magical realism and reality flow particularly through its opening number, which unfolds in a colorful sequence of traffic-dancing stars. It reflects the dreams of its two main characters, Sebastian and Mia, who each pursue their ambitions for artistic careers while simultaneously being in love with each other. The cinematography and colorful, nostalgic references to the old-time musicals give this film an enchanting, whimsical quality to it that seems to blend dreams with reality.
