We're back for the second week in a row covering a Damien Chazelle joint. That's really no bother because his films are pretty damn good. But also because First Man marks a significant departure for Chazelle's filmography. The 2018 film is a biopic about Neil Armstrong and the triumphs and tribulations proceeding the Apollo launch in the 1960s. And I think it's fair to say that story wouldn't be an expected follow up from the director of Whiplash and La La Land. Ryan Gosling's lead performance, in particular contrast to his character in La La Land, sees him portraying Armstrong as a quiet man keeping a lot of his struggles bottled up. The result however is some high quality cinema, with a great score and a handful of unique and really tense space flight sequences we can't wait to breakdown.
