Unfortunately Max Ophüls’ only color movie, is one to remember.
This movie made me wish Max Ophüls would had made more color movies during his career. This is the only color movie he did and the last movie he completed as well, after passing away way too early in 1957. It’s a beautiful, colorful looking movie, that has some of the usual typical Max Ophüls ingredients in it as well.

I can definitely understand people finding Max Ophüls boring ones to watch. They are not just movies for just everybody, especially not for todays usual type of audience. Luckily the majority of people still seem to be able to appreciate his movies and his more slow but very stylish and strong way of story-telling.

It’s narrative is probably the movie its strongest point. It isn’t necessarily the story itself this time that makes this movie stand out. It’s a movie that follows a plot-line set in the present, combined with another story, that of Lola Montès life, told in flashbacks. It’s an approach that works out so well and interesting for the movie.

I wouldn’t exactly call this movie a real biopic, since it only focuses on some of the early years of Lola Montès her life. In all honesty, I think her real life and character was much more interesting and complex than the one that is being told in this movie but that would had simply made an entire different movie. So it really doesn’t matter that this movie takes a lot of liberties and only tells a small part of Lola Montès her entire lifespan. This was simply not the approach that had been chosen by Max Ophüls, who simply tried to tell a good, compelling, compact story, about an intriguing woman. Max Ophüls always seemed to have had a fascination for female behavior and especially for those that didn’t simply went with the flow and did other things than were expected from them. He did this even with movies that were about simple housewives and was not afraid to show people how they often really are and that not everything is always black and white in life.

Like basically every big Max Ophüls movie, this one is a period piece, which means that is has some great looking sets and costumes, that this time even catch more attention, since it got all shot in color. But that doesn’t mean that it distracts from the story or all of the other typical Max Ophüls elements that make most of his movie so incredibly effective and compelling to watch, with this one included.

8/10

Where are we going?
“Lola Montes” is a film about movement in every way. The famous tracking shots, so widely written about, are absolutely necessary here and in Max Ophuls’ direction reached an apogee. They dominate such different story lines as “Le plaisir”, “Madame De…”, “Liebelei” and the rest but here the subject is motion – a life in perpetual, ceaseless motion. Actually this motive was appealing to Ophuls in general – lost earrings, the dance of the masked man and down the line -but here it uses a life as its opening premise. Actually the film is not really concerned with the title character as with the men whose lives it touches. In that capacity Martine Carol fulfills her role quite adequately. There’s not much to see in Lola – she is portrayed in two dimensions throughout the film and her character was never intended to come to life. The men around her, on the other hand, are a wonderful lot with totally different responses to Lola’s seductiveness and this is at the core of the film. The colors of the circus are fabulous and the season’s of Lola’s life depicted in some of the most sophisticated color schemes I’ve ever encountered. The wintry blues and whites in the palace with the snow depict the end of one man’s life while the autumnal shades of her affair with Liszt were breath-taking. Someone reported that Phuls had actually painted the ground around the carriage to simulate the end of an affair. My only objection in the entire film is George Auric’s overuse of his beautiful opening music at the film’s beginning. It outlasted its welcome, unfortunately. This is a great film and fitting end to a remarkable career by yet another – Max Ophuls.
