The Lola film is a distinct subgenre of the woman's film in which
woman's claim to pleasure is entertained without recourse to the
figure of the femme fatale. Lola embodies a recognizable set of
characteristics through which over time a select group of
directors, actors, and audiences have responded in ways that do not
succumb to the imperatives of gender. There are over thirty-five
Lola films, starting with Marlene Dietrich in The Blue Angel: many
are German, others are French, American, British, Italian, and
Spanish, but her claim has also resonated in Argentina, China,
Egypt, Mexico, Thailand, and the Philippines. Lola can be working
class, lesbian, transgender, ethnic, suburban, or any combination.
This book examines Lola as a specific and enduring aspect of the
early twentieth-century "new woman": woman's forthright claim to
pleasure on her own terms, liberated, if only as a cinematic
fantasy, from the usual constraints of sex and gender.
