If you loved La La Land, try Babylon

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Babylon has roughly 4.8× fewer votes than La La Land — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Damien Chazelle, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La La Land, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Babylon is

1920s Hollywood, jazz horns blaring, a champagne glass shatters. Spotlights fade on silent stars, new voices emerge, and the chaos of transition unfolds. Chazelle surveys the decadence with a keen eye.
