The Profile

Damien Chazelle is an American film director and screenwriter known for Whiplash and La La Land. He won the Academy Award for Best Director for La La Land, becoming the youngest-ever winner.

Academy Award winner for Best Director (La La Land, 2017); frequent collaborator with composer Justin Hurwitz; educated at Harvard University; films include Whiplash (2014), La La Land (2016), First Man (2018), and Babylon (2022).

Reviewers praise Chazelle’s craft—editing, sound, and musical verve—while debating his sentimentality and scale. Whiplash is lauded for intensity and precision; La La Land charms but draws notes for uneven musical numbers. First Man earns credit for an austere, anti-triumphalist angle. Babylon divides, yet many find it unforgettable, ambitious, and technically dazzling.
