Few indies over the past decade have maintained as much of a cultural hold as Damien Chazelle’s riveting breakout. In honor of an upcoming splashy rerelease, the director and his two stars reflect on the making of the movie, and how it’s impacted their lives.
Even more impressively, Whiplash has held up. The movie regularly ranks on lists of the greatest films of the century, and even of all time. Its portrait of artistic relentlessness has spawned a whole category of memes. Above all, it’s a shining example of what a talented director can do before the world catches on, taking a deeply personal story—Chazelle has said he drew on the “dread” he experienced in high school band—to make something specific and fresh.
When we shot that scene, because it was a couple of pages, I’m sure we did a master or two—but honestly, what I remember is that Damien would set up the camera and he would say, “Okay, guys, we’re just going from this line to this line.” Maybe three eighths of a page or five eighths of a page. We would do a take or two, and then he would say, “Okay, got it. Moving on.
