Lola

Jacques Demy's witty, melancholy debut is a romantic nouvelle vague-musical about a bored boy in Nantes who falls in love with cabaret dancer Lola (a captivating Anouk Aimée). She waits in vain for the long lost father of her child. Jacques Demy’s Lola captures intersecting lives in Nantes (his birthplace) with great flair. Anouk Aimée plays the singing cabaret dancer Lola ("C'est moi. C'est Lola") who awaits the return of a long lost love and is worshipped by another soul in love, the wandering Roland. And then there is the American sailor Frankie.
