2.La La Land

　　爱乐之城

　　Critics predict Oscar glory for this musical romantic comedy from Damien Chazelle (Whiplash), which stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as a jazz musician and actor chasing their dreams in a Technicolor Hollywood. BBC Culture’s Nicholas Barber gave it five stars, praising the stars’ charisma and chemistry: “Most cinema-goers are already madly in love with at least one of them, and that love will hit stratospheric new heights when they see how skilfully Gosling and Stone balance their absurd attractiveness with goofy self-deprecation”. Opening with a barnstorming song-and-dance number set in an LA traffic jam, La La Land has been credited with putting the Hollywood musical back on its feet. According to Sight and Sound, “Chazelle’s always inventive staging ensures we’re transported to the elevated emotional planes people used to go to the movies to experience: ardour, hope, despair, what have you”. On general release from 8 December. (Credit: Black Label Media)

　　评论家预测由达米恩·查泽雷导演的这部爱情浪漫喜剧有实力冲击奥斯卡奖项。该电影讲述了由瑞恩·高斯林和艾玛·斯通主演的一对爵士艺术家于好莱坞追逐梦想的故事。BBC文化专栏五星推荐，并赞誉了演员的魅力和演技：“很多观影者已经是瑞恩或者艾玛的狂热粉丝了，当粉丝们见识到他们两人是如何巧妙地消化角色独有的魅力和蠢萌的自卑感时，粉丝们会更加喜爱他们的。”电影以主角在纽约街头拥堵的交通中表演歌舞开场，《爱乐之城》被认为是好莱坞音乐剧的再次崛起。杂志Sight and Sound评述：“查泽雷导演一贯的创意视觉效果能够保证观影观众想要感受到的强烈情感，包括激情、希望，和失落。”
