Directed by Damien Chazelle
Under the direction of a ruthless instructor, a talented young drummer begins to pursue perfection at any cost, even his humanity.
Why it matters
Damien Chazelle's blistering study of a jazz drummer and his abusive teacher. Andrew Neiman's obsessive drive to be the best is both his gift and his undoing, pushed to the point of physical and psychological collapse by a mentor who believes greatness requires destruction.
