简介：Hollywood-style time travel stories like to focus on cultural fads and fashion: clothing, music, slang, everyday technology. The slick low-budget Irish sci-fi film LOLA has fun with all this, but also investigates darker, more global questions, like: What if Germany had won World War II? Andrew Legge makes his directorial debut with interlocking audio-visual documents from the 1940s that follow the lives of two talented and lively sisters, Thomasina and Martha. As children, the couple used their own equipment to create a machine that could receive broadcasts from future media. In their personal, insular punk paradise, they embraced the rebellious styles of the future era—The Kinks, David Bowie—but also discovered that history is a dangerous game when military personnel get involved . The ultimate question is: if mass media can change the world, can cinema miraculously restore it? Like the patchwork monuments created by the show’s characters, LOLA is an inspired creation in the style of Guy Maddin in Woody Allen’s Zelig . 1983) and Peter Jackson's Forgotten Silver (1996). It's a surreal romp filled with scratches, glitches, and speculative possibilities.
