NEW DATE
Young but deeply ambitious drummer Andrew (The Spectacular Now’s Miles Teller) attracts the interest of his elite music school’s fearsome jazz maestro (J.K. Simmons, Juno). An audition leads to a relentless and abusive dynamic that explains the film’s Sundance nickname “Full Metal Juilliard.” Even as the wunderkind’s knuckles bleed and he is pushed to the brink of both his ability and his sanity, you think: That’s some truly glorious noise he’s making. D: Damien Chazelle, US, 2014, 106m
