Review of Lola Montès (1955) by P. P — 24 May 2014
This is sumptuous, exacting film with fluid camera movements detailing the sensational life of real life bon vivant Montes. The title character's life plays out in a series of flashbacks that are poignant and poetic.
Beautiful production design reminiscent of the films of Visconti. The drawback of the big production scalae is that Montes seems somewhat distant and artificial. I still think this film is extraordinary (if not my favourite by this masterful auteur who clearly viewed unconventional women with respect and admiration).
