Lola (1981) unfolds in Germany during the autumn of 1957, where Lola, a captivating cabaret performer and prostitute (Barbara Sukowa), revels in her ability to enthrall men, yet yearns for a way out. She desires wealth, property, and genuine affection. Lola devises an audacious scheme, manipulating a dishonest construction magnate (Mario Adorf) and the newly appointed, upright building inspector (Armin Mueller-Stahl). The film, shot in vibrant, almost childlike colors, serves as Rainer Werner Fassbinder's tribute to Josef Von Sternberg's iconic "The Blue Angel," offering a biting critique of a society where everything, including people, is up for sale.
