LOLA MONTES<\/h2>\nLOLA MONTES<\/h2>\n| 1955 – 110′ – Drama, Romance, Biopic, Classic, Films & Literature. New Orleans, in the19th century. A baroque circus is dramatizing the scandalous life of the courtisan Lola Montes\u2014starring Lola herself. Answering the audience\u2019s most indiscreet questions, as the ringmaster provides commentary, Lola must look back on the highlights of her life:\u00a0from her girlhood when her mother’s lover became attached to the daughter; her unhappy marriage and its aftermath; romances with composer Franz Liszt, abduction by a Russian general; her affairs across the landscape of Europe with the great and noble; her thwarted aspirations as a dancer; and her romance with King Ludwig I, which led to her being made Countess of Landsfeld, and, later, to his abdication. Forced to flee, she has been reduced to poverty that has led to this circus. Will her tragic end be the final attraction: the leap of death?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n LOLA MONTES | 1955 – 110′ – Drama, Romance, Biopic, Classic, Films & Literature.
