10 Best Movie Trailers Of The 2010s
4. La La Land
Damien Chazelle is responsible for writing and directing two of the greatest films of the last decade – Whiplash and La La Land.
Though the former is probably the better of the two, this trailer was a stunning introduction to Chazelle’s musical wonderland.
As the title suggests, the cornerstone of this trailer is the song ‘City of Stars’. The piano hooks the viewer immediately with a simple yet distinctive melody, and it's no surprise it went on to win Best Original Song at the Academy Awards.
As for the visuals, Chazelle’s love of classical musicals is evident straight away. Yet La La Land gives such influences a fresh coat of paint with its gorgeous cinematography and luxurious colour palette.
From beginning to end, this ninety-second teaser sucks you into Chazelle’s world and leaves you dying to dive back in again.
