Directed by: Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Germany in the autumn of 1957: Lola (Barbara Sukowa), a seductive cabaret singer–prostitute, exults in her power as a tempter of men, but she wants more—money, property, and love. Pitting a corrupt building contractor (Mario Adorf) against the new straight-arrow building commissioner (Armin Mueller-Stahl), Lola launches an outrageous plan to elevate herself in a world where everything—and everyone—is for sale. Shot in childlike candy colors, Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Lola, an homage to Josef von Sternberg’s classic The Blue Angel, is a wonderfully satirical tribute to capitalism.

Release Notes on Restoration
Lola
Lola is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1. On standard 4:3 televisions, the image will appear letterboxed. On widescreen televisions, the image should fill the screen. This 4K digital restoration was undertaken by StudioCanal from the 35 mm original camera negative at Alpha-Omega Digital GmbH in Munich. The original monaural soundtrack was remastered from the 35 mm magnetic track.
