Talking about the art design in "Lola" (non-professional)

"Lola" is the final installment of Fassbender's "West Germany trilogy", based on "The Blue Angels" directed by Josef von Sternberg. The story told in the film is very classical and stylized - the hero, Bohm, is a traditional, conservative doer who was hired as a building commissioner to a small town in West Germany, at the time of the first Federal Republic of Germany. During the tenure of Prime Minister Adenauer, behind the post-war situation where everything was...

[Film Review] Lola (1961) and Lola (1981)

Taken inspirations from Josef von Sternberg's THE BLUE ANGEL (1930), both Jacques Demy and Rainer Werner Fassbinder manufacture their own fantasies about its iconic protagonist Lola (played by Marlene Dietrich), a demimondaine of a sort, who bewitches and brings upstanding men to her heels, and the resultant discrepancy in tones and attitudes can be well accounted for by the two...

So similar

In the previous stage, I saw a TV show introducing Fassbinder, which relieved myself a little bit from ignorance and gained some understanding of the internationally renowned German director. He is a thinker with a keen eye, a unique perspective, and a compassionate public. At the same time, he is also a director with a gloomy childhood, a strong desire for dominance, and a passion for work.
    The setting of the plot of the film allowed me to secretly design the ending according to the...

Ironic light

Fassbender can always design a bright ending that cannot satisfy you. How dissidents transform the world is no longer the focus of the story. How society successfully absorbs dissidents really becomes Fassbinder’s irony. bright.

"Lola" is not a very good part of the Fassbinder German trilogy, but it clearly illustrates the degeneration and corruption of German society at that time. The film background is set in Germany in the post-war 1950s. The power structure established by the...

Lola 1981 by Fassbinder

At first, I was very uncomfortable with this way of telling stories: first, the transition was blunt; second, the background music was overwhelming, sometimes even inconsistent with the mood; third, the characters were crazy (logical, but extreme). But at the end, I don’t know whether this was done deliberately by the author. The whole story is very similar to "Twin Peaks". Under the background of large construction, the warehouse in the small town hides all the secrets and...

The proliferation of blue and red light and shadow is not only exclusive to sirens, but can also be blended in Fassbender's films. When I watched it, I couldn't help but think of Cassavetes' murder of the underground boss. Although the eight poles could not be beaten, I still remembered such an ambiguous atmosphere of light and...

Beautiful film. No doubt. Probably one of the more sugary ones. The solo performance half-way is breathtaking. However, overall it is hardly as tragic as people say. Very comic - maybe too comic and not as bitter for...

In the best part of the trilogy, Fassbender actually tells a story of political struggle, but the focus is on women, who have been living. And that's what makes Fassbender's women awe-inspiring, they've been living, and Naruse, Ozu, and Fassbender are all in the same boat on this...
