    Additionally, the film is a love song to spectacle, to all forms of spectacle, including cabaret, opera, musical comedy, dance, to theater, and, of course, film.

    Dreams are only fulfilled in fantasies. In Lasse Hallstrom’s Chocolat and Damien Chazelle’s La La Land, both authors explore the importance of sacrifice, drive and perseverance in achieving one’s dream in spite of all the obstacles.

    filled with over the top parties, but Another City challenges that idea. “Magic Hour” shows Los Angeles a not so glamorous side of LA, but also shows the beauty of Los Angeles.
