"a musical without music"
— Jacques Demy

We're going to see Jacques Demy’s 1961 debut Lola—the next in a short season exploring the start of the French New Wave.

We'll meet in the Watershed cafe/bar from 1 pm, to say hello and chat. Afterwards, there will be time to stop and talk about the film.

Buy your own ticket from the box office or online.

ABOUT THE FILM

"Jacques Demy’s crystalline debut Lola gave birth to the fictional universe in which so many of his characters would live, play, and love. It’s among his most profoundly felt films, a tale of crisscrossing lives in Nantes (Demy’s hometown) that floats on waves of longing and desire.
Heading the film’s ensemble is the enchanting Anouk Aimée as the title character, a cabaret chanteuse who’s awaiting the return of a long-lost lover and unwilling to entertain the adoration of another love-struck soul, the wanderer Roland (Marc Michel).
Humane, wistful, and witty, Lola is a testament to the resilience of the heartbroken."
