Plot: A complex choreography of chance encounters, resurrected loves, and youthful yearnings lies at the heart of Jacques Demy's first film, LOLA. Filmed in soft and evocative black and white, this romantic take on French New Wave malaise follows Roland as he drifts in and out of daydreams, losing his job after only three days. When the ladies at his local café muse on life and love, Roland can only scoff. On the other side of town, electrically beautiful Anouk Aimee is a cabaret dancer, rushing to and fro, attending to her young son and her American sailor admirer. Destiny pushes Roland and Lola toward each other, and both of their stories are replayed through various characters. Roland meets young Cecile, who reminds him of his first love, whose name was also Cecile and who is in fact Lola. Cecile's encounters in turn directly mirror Lola's life story as she faces her oncoming maturity and imagines future love. When Roland and Lola reunite, Roland's love for her is ignited, as is his flagging sense of life. Characters seem to be yearning to break into song at every turn as Lola and Roland's complicated past and future merge for a brief instant.
