Lola Intro | Jacques Demy | Beethoven 

This movie is so incredibly timeless. Even the font used in the titles looks fresh somehow.

The first words on the screen---"Cry if you can, laugh if you want." , an old Chinese proverb. Thus begins one of my 10 all time favorite films, Jacques Demy's debut, Lola (1961) A Classic French new wave movie. The use of the second movement from Beethoven's 7th symphony to start and end the film is a wonderful touch. The whole film is not permitted to be shown on youtube, but I thought I'd show you the opening scene of the film, shot in black and white CinemaScope.

Beautiful words.. After a long Search I found full film n watched it yesterday, indeed it's a masterfully made a beautiful classic cinema of new wave French Cinema, a sophisticated film!

Always a pleasure to see again

7th simphony Beethoven

I'm trying to set up the list of all the movies in which we hear this Beethoven' symphony. Someone could help ?

I suppose Chazelle is quite a fanboy of Jacques Demy...

Ce n'est pas Bach, mais Beethoven…
