Movie

Lulu (1980)
Lulu WikiData IMDb TMDB Douban
other title: 露露 / LULU
Walerian Borowczyk's 1980 film Lulu was based on the eponymous character created by Frank Wedekind. "Lulu" tracks the rise and fall of a beguiling dancer whose sexuality is tied directly to her fortunes. The titular nymph-like seductress flits from romance to romance, strategically positioning herself for social and financial gain. Each of her lovers embodies a Victorian archetype, from the old professor showing off what would now be called a "trophy wife" to the bohemian artist to the bourgeois newspaperman to the naive young man. Borowczyk's adaptation of Wedekind's melodramas emphasizes the satirical nature of the story, skewering upper middle class attitudes towards sexual relationships.
