These human encyclopedias of cinema see two to five films a day, and from 600 to 2,000 films per year. In Cinemania, Hollywood's biggest fans become the true stars. This is the story of their lives, their memories, their unbending habits and the films they love.
"A PERFECT CROWD PLEASER" - Screen Daily
LOLA Feature Film, Drama, 90 minutes Starring: Anouk Aimée and Marc Michel Directed by Jacques Demy
Gala Screenings at the Berlin Film Festival: Thursday, 13. February, 2003 10:00pm Berlinale-Palast Sunday, 16. February, 2003 5:30pm CinemaxX 9
Demy was a director of sophistication, visual musicality and enormous heart. LOLA is a modern fairy tale Love conquers all. The film is shot like a 90-minute waltz, Aimée seeming to walk on air and the rest of the cast existing in some elegant state of grace. - John Anderson, Newsday
BAY OF ANGELS Feature Film, Drama, 79 minutes Starring: Jeanne Moreau and Claude Manne Directed by Jacques Demy
Voluptuous, sun-drenched jumps out of the pack! - Dave Kehr, The New York Times
Gorgeous! A RIVETING gambling classic! Sharp work by Jeanne Moreau. Time Out New York
Jeanne Moreau forcefully demonstrates the verve, style and flamboyant femaleness that make her the envy of European sex symbols! Time Magazine (1964)
THE NEW YORK TIMES ON LOLA AND BAY OF ANGELS Restored at last! Magical Charming, graceful, and beautiful. Demys style is lighter than air. LOLA and BAY OF ANGELS are by far the most highly wrought and arguably the most technically accomplished of the early New Wave films. Its wonderful, in this grim time, to know that LOLA and BAY OF ANGELS are back to stay, and miraculous that they look so bright and clear and young. - Terrence Rafferty, The New York Times
