What critics compared Lola to
The top-down vehicle owned by Gosling's devoted jazz pianist, Sebastian, even recalls the car driven by the eponymous singer-dancer's former lover in 1961's Lola .
Born in Germany, Ophuls worked in five countries over the course of his 25-year career -- most successfully in the U.S. with Letter from an Unknown Woman and in France with La Ronde, Le Plaisir, The Earrings of Madame de... and his final film, Lola Montes.
More contemporaneous to Band of Outsiders, Godard owes as much, in terms of texture and tone, to Jacques Demy's Lola.
Stunningly shot by regular Godard collaborator Raoul Coutard (who also worked on Demy’s Lola and Truffaut’s Jules et Jim ), this apparent idyll is rendered suffocatingly sad by Georges Delerue’s iconic ‘Theme de Camille’, which was later pinched by Scorsese for Casino .
