As an arty found footage time travel period piece shot on 16mm with a wind-up Bolex camera, LOLA is nothing if not ambitious, especially for a feature debut. But the fact that director Andrew Legge actually manages to make it work is quite remarkable. Incorporating cleverly tweaked WWII-era newsreel footage into its collage-like, elliptically edited stream of home cinema snippets, Legge's film feels thoroughly modern at the same time as it strives for authenticity as something that might convincingly have been put together by someone in the early 1940s. This is of course appropriate, as LOLA is a film that has at least as much to say about the present day as it does about the past. There are precedents - Chris Marker's experimental time travel short LA JETEE (1962) and the films of Guy Maddin come to mind - but LOLA is surely one of the more inventive and ingenious films to have appeared in recent years.
