Time is running out for Lola (Franka Potente). She's just received a frantic phone call from her boyfriend Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu) who's lost a small fortune belonging to his mobster boss. If Lola doesn't replace the money in twenty minutes Manni will surely suffer severe consequences. Set to a throbbing techno score "Lola's like a human stun gun!" Peter Rainer New York Magazine.System Requirements:Run Time: 80 Mins.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: FOREIGN/GERMAN Rating: R UPC: 043396239319 Manufacturer No: 23931 Amazon.com essential video: It's difficult to create a film that's fast paced, exciting, and aesthetically appealing without diluting its dialogue. Run Lola Run, directed and written by Tom Tykwer, is an enchanting balance of pace and narrative, creating a universal parable that leaps over cultural barriers. This is the story of young Lola (Franka Potente) and her boyfriend Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu). In the space of 20 minutes, they must come up with 100,000 deutsche marks to pay back a seedy gangster, who will be less than forgiving when he finds out that Manni incompetently lost his cash to an opportunistic vagrant. Lola, confronted with one obstacle after another, rides an emotional roller coaster in her high-speed efforts to help the hapless Manni--attempting to extract the cash first from her double-dealing father (appropriately a bank manager), and then by any means necessary. From this point nothing goes right for either protagonist, but just when you think you've figured out the movie, the director introduces a series of brilliant existential twists that boggle the mind. Tykwer uses rapid camera movements and innovative pauses to explore the theme of cause and effect. Accompanied by a pulse-pounding soundtrack, we follow Lola through every turn and every heartbreak as she and Manni rush forward on a collision course with fate. There were a variety of original and intelligent films released in 1999, but perhaps none were as witty and clever as this little gem--one of the best foreign films of the year. --Jeremy Storey Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Running with Fate to the Euro-beat; Boom Chucka Boom Chucka...It's amazing what you'll buy when retailers sell DVDs for four bucks. The cool thing is that you can completely trash your expectations. Heck, I couldn't rent it twice at blockbuster for this money. Needless to say, I jumped in with both feet and landed safely into a film I thought was pretty cool. Let's run with Lola!! -DUBBA DUBBA... I had to watch the dubbed version. I started with subtitles but this is a very visual film. The limited dialogue simply sets the stage for ... Read More Rating:  - "I don't get it" "Nothing thought provoking" "Nothing Philosophical"I give this film 5 stars. This and The Princess and the Warrior are in my top 10 all time favorites. This is less a review than advice to those that may be influenced by the 1 star reviews. The reviewers all tried really hard to sound intelligent while at the same time admitting that they "don't get it" and claim that there was nothing thought provoking. They say that it was just the same thing three times showing three possible results. These reviewers said it themselves- they ...

The US release on DVd includes an english version, but really, I think its best with the subtitles. You may recognize the girl as "Jason Bourne(Markie Mark)'s " girlfriend from The Bourne movies. What makes this movie great, in my opinion, is how they use their obviously small budget to its greatest end, and it manages to successfully ask the question "how do the choices I make influence or impact those around me" ...

Rating:  - Time enough for loveThis film may have had a tad of art to it but for the most part it looked like a practice RUN for "Groundhog Day." I appreciate the differences but there is nothing unique about this movie. The only pleasure is comparing this to the hundreds of other similar movies ("Déjà Vu", "Sticky Fingers of Time", "Happy Accidents", etc.) The story is very basic; boyfriend loses mob money to bum on subway. Girlfriend (Franka Potente quite hansom if you discount the red hair) frantic to help must ... Read More |
