  Nashville 1975

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 26 Mar 2021 11

  On the surface, Nashville is an exploration of the country music culture within the 1970s. It isn’t attempting to critique or even study the effects of society at the time but rather embrace them by simply showcasing how a city functions over the course of a few days.

A constant cycle in which everyone…

We had to showcase all of our short films at once in a presentation and the curriculum called for it, but it forced me into always assuming that films need to…

  ★★★★★ Added 5

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  From the opening frame I felt a sense of ambition, a feeling of grandiose extravagance that could only appear on screen had the voices behind the vision been confident and creative. Chazelle has a deft touch to his stylistic decisions, one that immerses the audience. Whether it’s through the vast array of stunning colors, intricately stupendous set pieces, or expeditious pacing, something about Babylon’s 189-minute adventure feels inviting. Yet, Chazelle also wows the audience in an extreme method, presenting unorthodox…
