Lola Plot and Cast
Set in autumn 1957 Germany, Lola is a cabaret singer and prostitute who enjoys her power as a temptress but wants out—she desires money, property, and love. She pits a corrupt building contractor against the new straight-arrow building commissioner, launching an outrageous scheme to elevate herself in a society where everyone and everything is for sale. Shot in childlike candy colors, Fassbinder's homage to Josef von Sternberg's The Blue Angel is a satiric tribute to capitalism.
