La La Land is a 2016 American romantic musical comedy-drama film written and directed by Damien Chazelle and starring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, John Legend and Rosemarie DeWitt. The plot follows a musician and an aspiring actress who meet and fall in love in Los Angeles.

The film's title is a reference both to a nickname for the city of Los Angeles and to the idiom for being out of touch with reality. La La Land had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2016, and was released in the United States on December 9, 2016 by Summit Entertainment. The film received widespread acclaim from critics and has grossed $85 million worldwide. It was chosen by the American Film Institute as one of the top ten films of 2016,[4] and won the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Picture.[5] The film has won numerous awards, including seven Golden Globes: Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Director, Best Actor for Gosling, Best Actress for Stone, Best Screenplay, Best Original Score and Best Original Song, breaking the record for the most Golden Globes won by a single film.[6][7]

Emma Stone stars as Mia, an aspiring/struggling actress working as a barista at a coffee shop on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles, who serves lattes in between auditions.[17] Stone loved musicals since she was young and went to see Les Misérables when she was 8 years old, saying that "bursting into song has always been a real dream of mine", and that her favorite film is the 1931 Charlie Chaplin romantic comedy City Lights.[17][8] She studied pom dancing as a child, with a year of ballet.[17] She moved to Hollywood with her mother at the age of 15 to pursue a career, and struggled constantly to even get an audition during that year, and when she did, she was often turned down after singing or saying one line.[21] Stone borrowed many real life experiences for her character, some of which were later added into the film.[16]

She met Chazelle in 2014 while she was making her Broadway debut in Cabaret. Chazelle and Hurwitz went to New York City to watch her performance on the night the actress had a cold.[17][22] The two met at Brooklyn Diner in New York City, where the director outlined his vision for the forthcoming film.[23] It was only during her successful Cabaret run that Stone began talking seriously with Chazelle about La La Land, and seemingly gained confidence from the show.[23] In preparation for her role, Stone watched some of the movies that provided inspiration for the film, including The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, and Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers collaborations.[19] Stone accepted the offer because Chazelle was so passionate about the project.[23]

Ryan Gosling plays Sebastian, a jazz pianist who makes a living by playing cocktail party gigs in dingy bars, and has dreams of opening his own club.[17] Like Stone, Gosling also brought his own real-life audition experiences as an artist, including one incident Stone's character endures that happened to Gosling, when he was performing a crying scene and the casting director took a phone call in the middle of his audition, talking about her lunch plans all the way through.[17][21][24] Chazelle met with Gosling at a bar near the latter's home in Hollywood Hills, when Gosling was about to begin filming for The Big Short.[11] Chazelle cast the two immediately after Summit bought the film.[10] He said the two "feel like the closest thing that we have right now to an old Hollywood couple", akin to Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and Myrna Loy and William Powell.[16] The film marked the third collaboration between Gosling and Stone, following Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) and Gangster Squad (2013).[25] Chazelle asked the two about their audition disasters when they were both trying to make it.[21] Both learned how to sing and dance for the film's six original tunes.[11] Their characters have different ways of looking at art — Sebastian believes if it is great, it does not matter if anyone likes it, while Mia believes art needs an audience.[17]
