La La Land

It’s difficult to think of a summery film more dreamy than a Damien Chazelle (think Whiplash and First Man) musical set in Tinsel Town itself. If you haven’t seen it before, it follows the story of Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), who fall in love while trying to make their dreams come true in Hollywood.

With the perpetual sunshine, the catchy jazz-esque soundtrack and the swooning romance – this musical treat will transport you far away from home.
