Director Damien Chazelle revealed his 2022 flop Babylon has now given him fear regarding the budgets his future films might get, but it would still be a major shame if studios didn’t trust him with bigger projects. Damien Chazelle’s career has been defined by narratives of control. Both his 2009 debut Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench and 2016’s La La Land were bittersweet musicals about couples whose inability to control their careers cost them dearly. Meanwhile, 2013’s suspense thriller Grand Piano (which Chazelle wrote) and the following year’s Whiplash were both intense stories of musicians risking everything, including their lives, to master their art and play perfectly.
