Anouk Aimée on Lola
Share
The amazing cinematic universe of Jacques Demy essentially starts with Anouk Aimée. The distinctively beautiful French actor had recently made a splash in Federico Fellini’s hit La dolce vita when she was cast as the title lovelorn music-hall chanteuse in Demy’s 1961 debut feaure, Lola . In this supplement included in our Essential Jacques Demy box set, Aimée appears in both 1995 and 2012, interviewed each time by Demy’s widow, the filmmaker Agnès Varda. Aimée talks about how Demy selected her to star in the film and the challenge of playing such an overtly sexy role.
