Babylon

With great ambitions in his luggage, Mexican immigrant Manny Torres (Diego Calva) travels to the booming film industry in Hollywood during the 1920s. Film star Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt) not only succeeds in making the biggest films of his time with ease, but up-and-coming actress Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie) becomes a sought-after star alongside him.

However, when the film industry undergoes a massive change with the advent of sound film in 1927, the careers of stars and staff are at stake. To ease the transition, showbiz journalist Elinor St John (Jean Smart) is called in to show the stars how their careers can continue. With the big change, however, the rampant parties and drug excesses that were commonplace at the time are also at stake...

Bold, sexy, glamorous and unique: following his global successes LA LA LAND and WHIPLASH, Damien Chazelle's BABYLON tells the story of the soul of Hollywood and the rise and fall of all those who have dedicated themselves to life in the spotlight. It is the story of exuberant ambition, exuberant decadence and debauched depravity.
