Lola (1961) w. Anouk Aimee- anyone seen this?
Has anyone seen this movie?
If yes, does anyone have an opinion about it?
I noticed that this title is being released on DVD later this year, and it sounds intriguing, but I have no idea if it's any good.
Opinions-uninformed opinions=welcome+appreciated(greatly)
Gracias.

Anouk Aimee is cute as hell in this. I saw the restored print last year. Kind of leans towards the Truffaut style of French New Wave (i.e. more character driven and less stylistically overt) rather than Godard (who plays with the formal aspects of the medium). I actually think it's better than Jules and Jim. I'd recommend it if you're a fan of the period.

I have to confess, this title is intriguing to me primarily because I am a fan of Anouk Aimee and her "intellectual beauty", and not because I am a particular fan of early 1960's French cinema.
I do, however, appreciate the distinction you make between Truffaut and Godard. I tend to prefer more oblique narrative structures and symbolic systems of meaning, rather than straightforward characterizations, so I would lean slightly towards the Godard conception of film. Still, I may check this out, if only to further my education in French New Wave film. Thanks for the response.
