Lola Montes, A film by Max Ophuls, PG, 115 min, In French and, English with English subtitles
Max Ophls final work, and arguably the masterpiece of a career that encompassed films in five different languages, Lola Montes was a flop on first release and subjected to a brutal butchering by its producers they even hacked up the original negative. Ophls first movie in color and widescreen was the biggest-budgeted French film to date. This ravishing new restoration was showcased to huge acclaim at this years Cannes Film Festival, as well as this years Telluride and New York Film Festivals. It is the only film ever to have been selected for the New York Film Festival three times: for the very first NYFF in 1963, again in 1969 (in an earlier, not so successful, restoration), and this year. It was following the 1963 festival screenings that critic Andrew Sarris famously wrote, In my unhumble opinion, Lola Monts is the greatest film of all time, and I am willing to stake my critical reputation on this one proposition above all others. In 1969, Sarris wrote, Lola Monts is clearly the film of the year, or any year.
