Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt star in Chazelle’s film that revolves around Hollywood in the 1920s as the movie industry shifts from silent films to sound.
It all still started from research and trying to locate and imagine what types of costumes and music might have existed at the time, but didn’t get recorded. Many of the tracks in this movie are based around a riff, the kind you would imagine in rock and roll being played on an electric guitar, but instead, we gave that a horn section and the sax is driving the track all the way through.
There’s the unhinged wild party at the beginning. Later, Sidney has a performance where he’s asked to do something very humiliating. And the music is very angry, we’re trying to get at that. With that piece of music, you have a tune at the end that carries us through a bit because it’s a passage of time sequence. It needed to be very reflective and bittersweet.
Locating the beginnings of that movie and that song, which was a hit song of the period, was one of many attempts that Hollywood was trying to harness sound to something that would get people into theaters. Their approach was that they had sound, so let’s do a musical number. We’ll assemble our biggest stars to do this, it doesn’t really have to make any sense. We’ll grab what’s on the radio, put it together, and boom.
