If you thought jazz was all about grooving and smiling, you’re in for quite a surprise with Damien Chazelle’s 2014 Whiplash, a psychological thriller set in the claustrophobic intimacy of a rehearsal studio at a prestigious music school. This Oscarnominated indie gem revolves around the relationship between an aspiring drummer and his professor, a tyrant whose cruelty is only matched by his genius. Don’t miss this poignant faceoff, which brings the themes of ambition, authority, and artistic emancipation to vivid life, whilst also exploring the meaning of virtuosity.
