2016 Movie
Out of catalog
Dir. Damien Chazelle · United States of America · English
Here's to the fools who dream.
Mia, an aspiring actress, serves lattes to movie stars in between auditions and Sebastian, a jazz musician, scrapes by playing cocktail party gigs in dingy bars, but as success mounts they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fragile fabric of their love affair, and the dreams they worked so hard to maintain in each other threaten to rip them apart.
"Open-hearted gushy romanticism in CinemaScope. What's not to love?"
— Christina Newland
