Lola Montès (1955), dir. by Max Ophüls

She could have been happy with the German student who fell in love with her and offered her marriage and quiet family life. But Lola's addiction to her own sexual power, to the control she can exercise over men, to being a "sex star" makes her a prisoner - similarly to smoking and drinking addictions that are killing her.
