Review of Lola (1961) by X. T — 10 Jul 2008
Lovely. The film has an intriguing new wave-iness about it, I believe in great part of cinematographer Coutard (who worked on many of the landmark movies by Godard and Truffaut). You never quite know where the story is going to go next.
The fact that it was originally supposed to be a musical, and the heavy interconnectedness of the characters, makes this a precursor to Rochefort, although I actually prefer Lola. Funny, sad, gentle and real.
The fair scene in particular is magnificent.
