La la la
Éric Bitoun
2018 - 52 min - Couleur et Noir & Blanc - France

What if, contrary to popular belief, it was not speech that had initially failed in cinema but music? In its early ages, the cinema invented a genre inspired by the stage: the musical.
The musical is a kind of magic fluid, able to infiltrate everywhere, and especially into our memories. How to forget Cyd Charisse's legs, Busbey Berkeley's kaleidoscopes, Fred Astair, Gene Kelly, Esther Williams' ballets, Travolta's hips, "Chicago's" black tango, or "La La Land's" recent world-wide success?
Welcome in the enchanted and enchanting world of the musical!
