What they share
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Coco Before Chanel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Lola Montès is
A 19th-century siren repackaged as circus sideshow entertainment struggles to dictate her own myth. Her past romances are paraded before gawking crowds by a ringmaster who profits off scandal. A fancy dress parade of regrets and hollow applause.
