Movie Reviews of Run Lola Run
Movie Review: Keep trying til You get it Right
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched "Run, Lola, Run" without any real insight on what to expect. I had gotten the idea that it would probably be of more interest to young adults but I can attest that us older folks can enjoy it too. I admit that I was initially wondering if I was going to be watching a movie or a cartoon but I got to like the animated version of Lola running down the stairs. The lifestyles on display leave a lot to be desired but I let myself glide past that once I realized what a multi-facetted movie this is.
"Run, Lola, Run" is a movie that shows us a lot of stories within the stories and a lot of alternate scenarios. If you're one of those "if only" second-guessers, this is your chance to find out "what if". I liked the variables and I thought that the movie was quite unique in that regard. I won't give anything away although that, itself, may be misleading. This film challenges our expectations and, in doing so, might be giving us a glimpse of the future. I recalled a pavillion at the World's Fair Expo '67 in Montreal. It was, I believe, the Czech pavillion and they showed a movie that stopped at different points in the film when there was a major development. There was a "time-out" and the audience was asked to vote for one of several directional options that they were given and the movie proceeded with the requested option. "Run, Lola, Run" looks like a movie in which the production staff got several chances to vote on their options and decided to include them all. It works!
Summary of Run Lola Run

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
