Set against the gritty urban scenescape of Berlin and a pounding techno soundtrack, RUN LOLA RUN is a frenetic, inventive existential thriller that explores the life-altering...
more...impact of seemingly inconsequential actions. Beautiful, hip, and young, poor Lola has but 20 minutes to locate a missing bag containing 100,000 Deutsche marks or come up with the money some other way--if she can't, gangsters are going to kill her boyfriend. A pulse-raising race against time, the film employs a startling array of innovative techniques to present three separate scenarios, all departing from a single split-second decision Lola makes. Franka Patente, who also sings on the soundtrack, is mesmerizing as Lola.

Full review
I recently saw "Run Lola Run". It was the first time i saw a german film.I liked very much. I found it clever,innovative,fast, well-directed,modern,and very-very DIFFERENT from everything that i have ever seen.Its aesthetics,were definitely different from the usual holliwood films.
Lola has to find a big sum of money in twenty minutes, or else her boyfriend Manny is going to be killed.So lola starts running...
The movie is short (it lasts only 80mins)and it is divided into three parts, we see the three different versions of the same story. In the first, lola ends up dead,in the second, manny ends up dead , in the third and last, they end up...rich.
The performances are very good,but what makes the big difference,is the way that the film is directed: Really quick changes of frames,a bit of animation, snap-shots of the people lola meets whilst running,video-clip-like sequences.
It is definitely a cult film, and an original idea.If you choose to watch it, i guarantee that it is going to be a new cinematic experience.
