PODCAST | Federica Scarpa interviews Andrew Legge, director of the film Lola.
We meet Andrew Legge, director of LOLA, his debut film, presented out of competition at the Locarno film festival. Andrew tells us about the extraordinary work behind this particular science fiction film, which mixes actual historical footage with those of an alternate reality in which Nazism has won, and You Really Got Me by the Kinks has become a song from the 40s.
LOLA : England, 1941, sisters Thomasina and Martha have created a machine that can intercept broadcasts from the future. This delightful apparatus allows them to explore their inner punk a generation before the movement comes into existence. But with World War II escalating, the sisters decide to use the machine as a weapon of intelligence, with world-altering consequences.
