Baby Driver

For as long as he can remember, the great chase films were whirling around in Edgar Wright's mind (as they do us all). Great films like Walter Hill’s The Driver, John Landis’ The Blues Brothers and Richard C. Sarafian’s incredible Vanishing Point to name but three. For twenty odd years, Wright has wanted to honour them and put his own, very singular, stamp on the genre. With Baby Driver he has crafted something special, his very own car chase musical.

La La Land - LFF Review

I went to the cinema the other evening and I cried. Not a terribly rare occurrence, easily sentimentally manipulated movie-goer that I am. But this night, I saw something magical. Film is in itself is a magic trick. Twenty-four still images being shown to you a second that your brain interpenetrates as movement in the light. The movement in the light that is La La Land reminded me of what cinema truly can be.
