If you knew your geography…
…You would know that,in Chicago,there are no sailors but gangsters.That’s what the mother tells her daughter who became friend with an American!This is one of the funniest lines of a wonderful movie.

There’s a tight connection between “Lola” and Demy’s following movie “les parapluies de Cherbourg”:

-Lola is an unmarried mother,Genevieve becomes one too. Both are waiting for a lover,in a harbor .(Nantes for Lola,Cherbourg for Genevieve)

-Marc Michel’s character,Roland appears in both movies!In love with Lola,he is rejected.In “les parapluies”,his memories come back for a very short while: a flashback displays pictures of Nantes,where Lola’s story took place .And he told Genevieve’s mother about his long lost love.

-In “Lola” ,Roland wants to marry the heroine and to become her(not his) son’s father.In “les parapluies”,he marries Genevieve and becomes her (not his) son’s father.

-Both movies display ordinary people,whose ordinary life is shown with emphasis but not without taste ,as if all this were written in verse.What’s the matter if “Lola” is a “normal” movie and “les parapluies ” an entirely sung one.Demy’s touch makes both winners.

-Both movies -and it was to continue with “les demoiselles de Rochefort” and the marvelous “Donkey Skin”- favor the scenery:the black and white shots in “Lola” are at least as unreal and as dreamlike as the vivid colors in “les parapluies”(influenced by American musicals of the fifties)

-Both movies feature families without a father figure:the mother and the daughter I mention above ,we find them back in “les parapluies..” and even later in “les demoiselles de Rochefort”.But in this latter work,it’s the mother who’s an unmarried mother.

“Les parapluies de Cherbourg” is praised and loved everywhere,but “Lola”‘s still crying to be seen.Like Roland ,Lola will come back in another Demy’s movie ,made in America: “Model Shop”(1968).Leonard Maltin says that “Demy’s eye for LA is striking ,but overall feel to story is ambiguous”.It’s not on a par with Lola,though.

Lola and her men
Lola, a beautiful chanteuse working in Nantes, is a kind soul. The love of her life, Michel, abandoned her seven years ago. In the cabaret where she works attracts a lot of foreign sailors. Among the ones we meet, Frankie, is clearly one of Lola’s favorites. This young man loves her in his own way and he her little son, Yvon.

Roland Cassard, is a young man also from Nantes. It appears working for a living doesn’t appeal to him too much. One day, while strolling in town, Roland sees Lola, who he hasn’t seen in the years after the war. Lola, who had loved Roland, brings him up to date about what has happened to her in those years.

Jacques Demy’s lovely account of Lola and Roland in his beloved city, also includes an elegant woman, Mme. Desnoyers and her daughter Cecile, who interact with both Roland and Frankie in this evocative story set in the Nantes where Mr. Demy celebrated in most of his films. It’s a fitting tribute by the film maker to a city that he loved as it comes alive in this beautiful film. He was blessed with the magnificent black and white cinematography of Raoul Coutard, one of the best in France. Michel Legrand, who contributed the music score, gives a hint to another Jacques Demy film that will follow “Lola” in three years: “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”. In fact, there are parallels in “Lola” that can be seen in “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”, in the figures of Mme. Desnoyers and Roland Cassard. Only Cassard made it to the other film.

Anouk Aime, one of France’s loveliest actresses of all times, is seen as Lola. She does a marvelous job with this woman who has been cheated out of her happiness, but who doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. Marc Michel is also effective as Roland Cassard. Allan Scott is brilliant at Frankie, another kind soul that gravitated, and loves Lola, even though he can’t have her. Elina Labourdette makes the elegant Mme. Desnoyers come alive and the gorgeous Annie Duperoux does an excellent job with her Cecile.

“Lola” is a wonderful film that shows the great Jacques Demy at his best!
