Lola - An Openly Flamboyant Look From Beginning to End
There is nothing striking about this film's theme. Man is alone in his quest for domination and first in the administration of mass suffering.
The examination of pain minutiae, for instance, caused by the German citizenry in their Nazi war stance that lost its own inspired gusto when its basis, (military support,) evaporated is interesting, by itself, in its own "matter of fact" attitude. But this would be true of most films using war as its centerpiece.
The violence of man and the depravity that was evidenced by the ugly scars left on the face of the world as it is here revealed will unnerve the most brave and the most fearless amongst us.
But for me what steals the show and makes the film worthy of at least two viewings is the cinematography, its voluptuous color and astonishing look. Truly a moving picture. An art piece that flows and makes our time more glad is a triumph. In this film both director P.W. Anderson and his actor, Daniel Day Lewis have set a new standard to be admired and attempted in subsequent efforts. The bar has been set at a new height which just might remain the most unattainable for quite some time.
