Whiplash

I can remember watching this a couple of years after it came out and being in absolute awe, to the point where I'd recommend it to anyone any chance I had. Whenever anyone would ask me what my favourite film was? Easy, Whiplash. This is probably my third time watching this now and it's still as good as the first time I watched it. Sure there are other films that I like more than this but it still firmly sits as one of my favourites. After seeing way more films over the past year or so I noticed way more that I love about it this time around. The use of lighting and colour is something that Damien Chazelle is known for and rewatching this it's really clear. The colour pallet changes so often that almost every single scene will change from blues to yellows to browns and it never feels jarring at all. Combine this with the incredible cinematography and some of the best editing I've seen and you get something that's impossible to look away from.
