With the 2008 restoration that made the film

With the 2008 restoration that made the film the closest to Ophüls' original concept and vision, Lola Montes is mesmerizing! Shot in beautiful Technicolor and showcasing the wonderful settings and beautiful locations Lola Montes looks just as amazing as Martine Carol does portraying her. Max Ophüls' last film and the only one in color, he uses the Technicolor to great advantage and adds even more depth to his striking compositions. Deep, complex and with extreme emotion and drama throughout there is no way to take your eyes off the screen. Recommended.

Stiff and overly formal, draped in opulence but

Stiff and overly formal, draped in opulence but weighed down by a plodding pace. The staging felt theatrical rather than cinematic, with frames so crowded they seemed to suffocate the drama. Lorna summed it up perfectly: "Overstuffed and overcooked."
Reviewed by Thomas V 8 / 10

This is one of the most beautiful films

This is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. It's use of the circus as a vehicle to chronicle this woman's tragic life is contrived but beautifully executed, and the movie only suffers slightly from the rather wooden performance of the lead. It works because the tragedy is the objectification of her by man after man. Tough to watch in today's woke times.
