Blu-Ray Review: Criterion’s Ravishing, Gorgeous ‘Lola Montes’
Submitted by BrianTT on February 24, 2010 - 8:20pmCHICAGO – When Max Ophuls’s “Lola Montes” was released in theaters in France in December of 1955, it caused an international scandal. Much to the dismay of its director, the producers of the film mangled it, pulling and going to town in the editing bay like a bull in a china shop. They cut out some scenes, translated German dialogue into French, remixed the sound, and even re-edited the film’s chronology.
