Lola / Lola, la película Series: Spanish Cinema Now Director: Miguel Hermoso, Country: Spain, Release: 2007, Runtime: 113 This touching portrait of flamenco singer/ dancer/actress Lola Flores, one of the most popular Spanish performers of the 20th century, begins by recounting her childhood in Jerez in the 1930s. Fascinated by the flamenco dancing and singing of her gypsy neighbors, Flores soon becomes their apprentice and, though only eight years old, vows to dedicate the rest of her life to becoming a great bailaora. Relentless in the pursuit of her dream, she submits to a grueling training regime with the greatest flamenco masters of her day, and makes her first public performance at 13. The film chronicles her ascent to stardom, as well as her marriage to Antonio González, “El Pescaílla,” brilliantly capturing the dark, repressive atmosphere of Franco’s dictatorship. Director Miguel Hermoso and screenwriter Antonio Onetti play down the glamour of Lola even at the height of her popularity, focusing instead on the extraordinary hard work and dedication she constantly needed to get to and stay at the top. Actress Gala Évora gives herself over totally to her incarnation of Lola; the choreography is by the great Cristina Hoyos.
