En el reciente festival de Cannes se ha estrenado una una nueva restauración en Technicolor de esta película. Esta es la información:


The Cannes Classics section of the Festival is always an opportunity to celebrate film preservation, and this year it celebrates the world premiere of the new Technicolor restoration of Max Ophuls' Lola Montes (1955).

Main event: LOLA MONTÈS by Max Ophüls

The Technicolor restoration of LOLA MONTÈS, directed by Max Ophüls in 1955, is to have its world premier, presented by the Cinémathèque française, on Saturday May 17th.

Inspired by the scandalous life of Countess Landsfeld, known as Lola Montès, the film was Max Ophüls’ last work and his only film in colour.

Under Marcel Ophuls’ watchful eye, and benefiting from the technical expertise of François Ede – and thanks to theTechnicolor Lab., the Cinémathèque française set about restoring LOLA MONTÈS in its original version, giving back its colour, sound and original format, and thus providing this cult film with the possibility of amazing a younger audience as well as once again seducing all the people whose hearts it has already conquered.

The presentation of the restored print is our way of paying homage to Max Ophüls who died in 1957, shortly after the film was released.
