Run Lola Run (1998)
(Lola rennt)
Country: GER
Technical: col 80m
Director: Tom Tykwer
Cast: Franka Potente, Moritz Bleibtreu, Herbert Knaup
Synopsis:
When her hoodlum boyfriend mislays some mob money on a subway train, the extraordinary Lola has only twenty minutes to come up with 100,000 marks and save his life. She needs three attempts, however, to time things just right.
Review:
An entertaining, dementedly kinetic exploration of chaos theory, the idea that a given life can have a multitude of possible destinies, depending on a second's variation in colliding with other lives, or even all other things being equal. The heroine's supposedly supranatural powers are neither explained nor even addressed but remain a kind of private joke with the audience. It's dexterous, witty (for Germany) and resorts to some adventurous mixtures of media, and it was the first German film in years to take any kind of money abroad.
