Run Lola Run (02/10/2005 VCD)

Run Lola Run: Another certified German Hit!!!

Lola Rennt is a major critical and commercial hit around the globe after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival last 1999. I've been 6 years late since this film amazed the indie/foreign market in Germany, Europe and even the United States, plus this is the film that gave Franka Potente (Bourne Identity/Supremacy) her road to stardom and credibility as an international star.

In the opening credits of the film, I know that this one will be different, director Tom Tykwer has envisioned a modernized art of filmmaking. Run Lola Run has a clever magnificent film editing, cinematography and a very strong storyline. The film is surrounded by what if, it showed us that in answering our own questions, it will definitely give us the answer but this answer will lead us to the same question over and over again. The backdraft of this film is divided into 3 outcomes, each is limited to 20 minutes of decision making, each events will cause a drastic change (domino effect) to the lives of people around them. Lola Rennt has the same context with The Butterfly Effect but the plot is stronger and more remarkable. For me, the best aspect of this film is the embedded techno-musical score. It is just so perfect, appropriate in creating an intense, full of energy atmosphere especially when our lead character Lola is on her way of running and choosing her destiny.

Oh my, what is it with German Films?

Along with Good Bye Lenin!, Run Lola Run is a true German classic, witty, intelligent and dynamic... (A)
