What is Lola / Veronika Voss about?

Double Feature: LOLA, 1981, 113 min. In the late 1950s during West Germany’s postwar economic boom, Herr von Bohm (Armin Mueller-Stahl) moves to the corruption-rife city of Coburg as its new building commissioner. He’s immediately smitten with his landlady’s daughter, Mary-Louise (Barbara Sukowa), with little knowledge of her double life: In the evenings she becomes Lola, a sultry bordello singer and mistress of local builder Schuckert. In German with English subtitles. 30th Anniversary! VERONIKA VOSS, 1982, 104 min. Drug-addled and poisoned by nostalgia, faded film star Veronika Voss is attempting to return to her 1940s heyday of glittering, sexy success by fueling herself with booze and cocaine. Having fallen into the talons of a sadistic psychiatrist who enjoys having a celebrity around the office, the washed-up starlet seems in every way at odds with the 1950s and ’60s West German “economic miracle” around her - or is she? In German with English subtitles.
