A film that cleaned up at the Oscars with fourteen nominations and picking up six, this throwback to the heady days of the musical and its uplifting reanimation of what had cheerily been described as an ‘extinct genre’ in some quarters, is an unexpectedly thrilling delight. The world definitely needs more free form jazz musicals and more films featuring Ryan Gosling tap dancing for that matter. The Symphony Hall have ratcheted the whole experience up several thousand notches by screening La La Land on a giant screen accompanied by a live sixty piece orchestra. The Justin Hurwitz composed score is brash, energising and BIG. This is an incredible opportunity to experience a perfect symbiosis of cinema and live music in the acoustic heaven of the Symphony Hall.
