Damien Chazelle is no historian, but he’s likely to change the way many people perceive the \u201cwholesome\u201d days of Old Hollywood with his star-studded, drug-fueled new excess-in-show-business odyssey, Babylon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Old Hollywood that we have as a preconceived notion in our minds is this sort of tidy, elegant, sanitized, quainter world,\u201d the LaLa Land<\/em> and Whiplash<\/em> director tells Yahoo Entertainment in a new interview. \u201cIn many ways, [that was] a manufactured delusion designed to cover up this kind of reality\u2026 But it was a free-for-all of drugs, of sexual liberties, of recklessness, transgressiveness of all kinds. It was an insane milestone of chaos, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

Babylon<\/em> follows the intersecting stories of three people working in the 1920s film industry, just as silent movies are about to give away to \u201ctalkies,\u201d changing the landscape forever. There’s Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), a hard-partying, hugely famous silent movie star; Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie), an ingenue star who breaks out just before the transition; and Manny Torres (Diego Calva), an assistant who aspires to work his way up to producer.<\/p>\n

They all cross paths at lavish Gatsby-on-speed parties thrown by studio exec types that include pulsating big band jazz, birthday suits, orgies, exotic animals and lots and lots and lots of cocaine.<\/p>\n
