Lola
Germany in the autumn of 1957: Lola, a seductive cabaret singer-prostitute exults in her power as a temptress of males, yet she desires out-- she wants cash, home, and love. Pitting a corrupt structure specialist versus the brand-new straight-arrow building commissioner, Lola releases a horrendous plan to raise herself in a world where every little thing, as well as everybody, is up for sale. Shot in childish sweet shades, Fassbinder's tribute to Josef von Sternberg's traditional Heaven Angel stands as a satiric homage to commercialism.
