  You can look at archives if you like. Lola nearly killed me with boredom, Ali was more interesting, but don't you think it was so contrived it really had little to do with reality?

    and the age disparity, though not as much as in the movie, existed.
    The acting was such that it overcame my anticipated "contrived" feeling.
    Lola boring?
    I read a post where you mentioned that but I thought you were referring to another post.
    Anyhow, both of these films were extremely "emotional," which was my original point.

      Emotions are personal. What will leave one person cold might generate an avalanche in another, so I don't know why you have any issues with my being rather cool to his works. If they feel emotional to you I am not going to try to turn you around. Often these are based in our personal experiences, even if indirectly related.

      Or you are going to sue me over that?

      But Lola? As I watched it I could not believe I was watching Anouk that truly sparkled, was really a firework under ice, in La Dolche Vita, so dumn, unattractive and unwieldy she was in Lola... and to think that was done AFTER the La Dolce Vita makes you think.

        Lola all wrong: I'm talking about Fassbinder's Lola, not some French movie with Anouk. I think you'd like it... a lot.

          I don't know how I've gotten into that loop! I recall the "other" Lola, but vaguely. Should have paid more attention.

          By a strange coinsidence, watching The Blue Angel right now.

          And... many things happen, few get put on screen.

            Of Human Bondage with Bette D better: her performance is my fav female film one.
            See Lola, I think you'll like the tycoon's character very, very much.

              Not in the Angel, and even more so in the Witness to the Prosecution, that we watched last night. A horrible person, and a horrible actress. While in the Angel she hardly had to do any acting, in the Witness a couple of scenes called for it, and she fell flat on her unpleaqsant face - expecially while delivering her "Damn you!..." speech. I can take some of her singing, if not too much, but acting... But not her singing in the Witness - a sore reminder of how poorly the German language fits singing. It works great with Schubert, but Marlene's choppy, hard and almost hostile delivery all created an unpleasant moment.
