Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons costar in Damien Chazelle's Whiplash.
Damien Chazelle is known for his love of music in his movies and one that earned him an Oscar nomination captivated us ten years ago. The film Whiplash brought fans into the high-stakes world of a music conservatory. Andrew Neiman wants to be the best jazz drummer he can be, but he meets his match when he is up against the conservatory's infamous instructor, Terence Fletcher . Whiplash is aggressive, loud, frightening, and brilliant, and now it is streaming on Netflix this coming November.
✕ Remove Ads Whiplash tells a story of determination mixed with obsession and the drive that one person can have that teeters on the brink of insanity. The film was recently back in theaters for its 10th anniversary. For Andrew, he just wants perfection in his art and Fletcher's teaching methods take him down a dark path towards that. The movie has Fletcher discovering Andrew and bringing him into the top jazz ensemble, but the pressure to succeed proves to be too much.
Whiplash was, for many of us, our first foray into Chazelle's work. But it also brought a new side to Teller as a performer. We knew what Simmons was capable of, but Teller had primarily been in young adult book adaptations or romantic comedies before his work in Whiplash. Now, he's known as a leading man carrying films like Top Gun: Maverick and the television show, The Offer.
✕ Remove Ads Damien Chazelle's Love of Jazz Spans His Filmography Without Whiplash, we probably wouldn't have movies like La La Land or Babylon either. Not only because of the acclaim that Whiplash brought Chazelle but because both films heavily feature jazz music in different yet equally captivating ways as Whiplash. The Teller and Simmons-led film cemented Chazelle's love of music in his work, and we came to expect it all of him in his future projects.
