Review of Lola Montès (1955) by André D — 21 May 2010
Although this film has been critically lauded it is still a tough sell. Lola is a 19th century fallen woman celebrity who recounts her life in flashbacks during her bizarre circus performance. The gaudiness of the colours and costumes goes along with the film's artificiality, but I found it trying.
Worth seeing for the endless tracking shots and Anton Walbrook, who is always great.
