About

Are you someone who keeps thinking about a film long after it’s over?

Join us at The Frame Lab, a community of curious minds who believe the best films don’t end when the credits roll; they begin with the conversation after.

November Feature: Whiplash (2014)

A young drummer, a ruthless conductor, and a question the film never lets you off the hook on: how far is too far in pursuit of greatness? Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash is a tight 106 minutes that feels more like a thriller than a music film. If it’s been a while since you’ve seen it, it’s well worth a rewatch before we meet.

We’ll be diving straight into the details; we’ll be getting into things like:

  • Ambition and obsession: where dedication ends and self-destruction begins
  • Fletcher and the role of a teacher
  • How Chazelle shoots drumming like a fight scene, and what the editing and sound do to your pulse
  • That ending, and what it says about what Andrew actually wants
  • And more!

Bring your thoughts, your questions, and your honest reactions. No wrong answers here, just good conversation.

The Frame Lab meets monthly.
