"Lola"
1961
Directed by Jacques Demy

Jacques Demy's Lola is a precisely constructed film about love, "with an almost balletic sense of rhythm set against the urban background of Nantes." The beautiful Anouk Aimee plays Lola, a cabaret dancer, who is courted by her childhood friend. But she is still in love with Michel, who had left her with their child when he went off to seek his fortune. After spending the night with another man, Michel reappears, rich, and takes her away. French with English subtitles.  91 minutes.
