Babylon is one of the most anticipated movies of the year - here's everything you need to know ✨
Babylon
stretches out across three hours and eight minutes, that Chazelle has no clear idea where all of this is going. He introduces a jazz trumpeter, played by Jovan Adepo, and then seems to forget about him after a few scenes. Calva’s character, who eventually becomes a studio executive, drifts through the movie as something of an audience surrogate, but he’s mostly backgrounded so Robbie and Pitt can satisfy the film’s demand for spectacle.
What is being said here, exactly? An extended sequence in which Nellie tries and fails to find her bearings while filming her first talkie briefly points the film in an intriguing direction: whatit like for all those silent idols who crashed and burned once production moved inside and strangers could hear their voices? But Chazelle swiftly breaks the intriguing tension of that moment, drowning it out with a profane, histrionic fit and then punctuating the scene with a tragicomical, but...
It’s only in the film’s lugubrious closing moments that Chazelle settles on a maudlin message: movies are magic, aren’t they? As a character watchesis about the troublesome shift into talkies, same asis even an origin story for that movie—his eyes mist up with awe and affection. Though Chazelle has just spent three hours showing us vileness and rot,’s grimy riot has been leading simply to this: a salute to the movies in the style of so many Oscars ceremonies past.
