Lola Montès
She lived too intensely and far too well!
A visually sumptuous, melancholic portrait of a legendary courtesan's fall from grace, told through the lens of her circus captivity and romantic past.
Lola Montes, previously a great adventuress, is reduced to being the attraction of a circus after having been the lover of various important men.
