Description
Description
Conceived as an homage to Josef von Sternberg’s ‘The Blue Angel’, ‘Lola’ is a biting satire of capitalist greed. Set in a German provincial town during the ‘economic miracle’ of the ’50s, the seductive Lola is the star attraction of the nightclub in which she works. But, ever amibitious, she spots an opportunity to improve her social position in the form of straight-laced new buildings commissioner von Bohm. Presenting her most demure persona, she manipulates von Bohm into a chaste courtship, but finds that outrunning her past is more difficult than she ever imagined.
