Lola
Germany in the autumn of 1957: Lola, a seductive cabaret singer-prostitute exults in her power as a temptress of males, but she desires out-- she desires cash, building, and love. Matching a corrupt structure professional against the new straight-arrow building commissioner, Lola introduces a horrendous strategy to raise herself in a world where whatever, and everybody, is to buy. Shot in childish candy shades, Fassbinder's tribute to Josef von Sternberg's classic The Blue Angel stands as a satiric homage to commercialism.
