That's a tragedy! I will say, it is, in my opinions, one of the greatest films ever made. I watched it for the first time, gobsmacked it had been forgotten, but this was only after the film was reassembled to its original state (the studio butchered it for release). People speak of it alongside CITIZEN KANE. If you have £16 to spare for the Criterion film, it is very much worth it.
Cole, this double feature was incredibly engaging! Pairing Lola Montès with I’m Not There was incredible, shedding light on how mythology and fiction intertwine with biographical narratives. The way you highlighted the intricacies of storytelling in the film hits home. I appreciated the unique viewpoint you brought to these cinematic pieces!"
This is such a great idea. Unfortunately, I don’t think Lola Montès is available to stream in the UK.
