Review of Lola Montès (1955) by Eric R — 01 Mar 2010
Max Ophuls' Lola Montes is his grand opus, in which he tells the epic story of Lola, who is presented as some sort of circus attraction. The film is absolutely gorgeous and epic in frame; Ophuls really was a master of the long fluid shot, and he once again proves it.
This is grandiose storytelling with some beautiful moments into Lola, as we learn about her life through flashbacks and her current circus situation. Let me just add that watching this on blu-ray blew me away and Criterion is the shit for releasing this.
