Terry Gross spoke with Damien Chazelle last month. But, at first, they don't really connect. They run into each other in Los Angeles more than once. Ryan Gosling plays a jazz pianist who wants to open his own club in order to do his part to keep jazz alive.īut he's usually stuck playing awful gigs at restaurants and parties. It's been nominated for 14 Oscars, tying the record set by "All About Eve" and "Titanic." It stars Emma Stone as an aspiring actress who keeps going to auditions and getting rejected. "La La Land" is firmly set in the present but pays loving tribute to movie musicals of the past. Today, we'll revisit Terry's conversations with Meryl Streep, nominated as outstanding actress for her leading role in "Florence Foster Jenkins," and start off with Damien Chazelle, the writer and director of one of this year's most critically acclaimed movies, "La La Land." Chazelle also wrote and directed the 2014 film "Whiplash," about a jazz student and his sadistically demanding teacher. On Fridays this month, we'll be listening back to some of our conversations with directors, actors and writers who have just been nominated for this year's Academy Awards, including Jeff Bridges, Kenneth Lonergan, who directed "Manchester By The Sea," and Barry Jenkins, who directed "Moonlight." I'm David Bianculli, editor of the website TV Worth Watching, sitting in for Terry Gross.
