MCT:October 10, 2008This is a very unique german movie. I would recommend it. there is a lot of repeating but it is interesting!
-
MCT:October 4, 2008Wow! On the esthetic side, Tykwer is awesome, the perfume and faubourg st-denis only confirmed it after this awesome start he made. Simply breathtaking, brilliant and intelligent, the movie is a wonder. Nearly perfect.

I was lucky enough to watch this one in my business class and what a film it was. It's superbly acted and directed and totally amazing. Seeing the same story with different outcomes is always one of my favorite story telling devices and Run Lola Run does it beautifully. Visually the film is stunning with it's use of interesting characters and small pieces of animation. It's a fantastic piece of german cinema.

Fast paced, you'll wonder how it will end.
It really makes you wonder and catches you until the very end.
Everything worked ok in this movie. From characters to places to situations... I'm glad I was "zapping" the night i've seen it :) -

This was certainly interesting. It's been a while since I've seen it but it was action packed and constantly kept the viewer "on the run".
-
MCT:September 2, 2008Excellent Film. Great combo of music and motion that takes the viewer on an emotional journey ... 3 times.

Solo discreto. Il film parte nel migliore dei modi; poi però qualcosa si perde. Il montaggio è serrato e tiene vivo l'interesse.

Manni: [over the phone] Help me, Lola! I don't know what to do!
That is a line that propels the fast paced story that is the bases for this movie. The movie uses a simple setup to create a unique experience that works through its imagery, entertainment factor, and various themes and layers that makes it benefit from rewatching it.
Franka Potente stars as Lola. Her boyfriend has just lost 100,000 Deutschmarks, which he is supposed to deliver to his boss. He will be killed if he doesn't get the money to him, and decides to rob a supermarket, unless Lola can make it to him in time and find a better solution.
With this setup underway, Lola runs and runs and runs to wherever she needs to in order to find a solution. Things are not as simple as they sound however, as the story is actually ended in 20 minutes, only to be repeated two more times. Its an interesting approach that benefits from how each "run" has various changes reflecting the theme of free will vs. fate.
Also included during the film are flash forwards, which show possible futures for the various characters Lola comes into contact with during the course of her running.
The film is filled with a number of other themes and reoccurring images as well, not to mention a number of elements all working to connect all of the "runs" together as well as subtle references and differences between each one.
The film is very interesting, while remaining fast paced and absorbing. This is further helped by the sweet techno-themed score that backs the film, as well as well done camera work, film stock usage, and editing to make the film a wonderful visual experience.
An interesting and entertaining film from German director Tom Twyker.
Herr Meier: Is everything all right?
Lola: No. -
With its time limit and "multiple lives" concept, the film owes a clear debt to Polish director Krzysztof Kie?lowski, who explored the theme in films such as Blind Chance, The Double Life of Véronique, and Three Colors: Red.

A great German film with a great cast. I would recommend this film and I would be happy to see this film again.
-
MCT:August 2, 2008Appropriately named...Franka Potente sure spends a lot of this movie running. This caught my attention after I seen it listed on the IMDB top 250 movies of all time. I came away disappointed. I understand the point that small things and events that change can greatly effect the outcome. The movie ends up feeling more like a special edition with alternate endings. There were too many different filming styles competing against each other leading to a lack of consistency. The music was good and paced well with the film. The acting was decent. Overall it just feels too chopped up. Chances are you'll probably like it since most people do and I'm just in the minority.

I was really surprised by this movie, at first I was wondering if I was going to like it, or for that matter if I was going to understand it, but it tied in really nicely at the end.

I thought this was cool. Full of stylish little details of film making. I predicted it would end dull but I was surprised.
-
MCT:July 18, 2008
One of a kind!Stunning action figure,Franka Potente,run in techno beat and Tom Tykwer keeps us in suspense...It's so simple after all,but noone else can accomplish this perfect result.TYKWER RULES!

LOOOOOOOVE THIS MOVIE! (Saw it edited, FYI) The movie is in German but is subtitled. Awesome soundtrack! You might recognize "Lola", Franka Potente, as"Jason Bourne's" girlfriend in "Bourne Identity". This is one of my favorite films.
-

I really like Tom Tywker directing style. And I also really like Franka Potente. I also really enjoyed how the film was split into three parts and every story was slightly different with a different outcome. Very clever.
-
MCT:July 13, 2008
Interesting but somehow only scratches the surface. Probably the most interesting parts are the destinies of the passers-by.

gains points for its candy-colored contemporary nightmarishness (like a nightmare where everything keeps going wrong, over and over), loses it for taking itself too seriously.
ultimately gains points for having the quintessentialy german moral: BE ON TIME. ALWAYS. -
MCT:June 29, 2008
Not a totally original idea but still keeps your blood pumping without becoming tedious. I liked the style of the film but I wasn't able to connect to the characters emotionally as much as I'd have liked.
-
MCT:June 28, 2008
Imaginative German thriller portraying three possible (though admittedly unlikely) outcomes of the same situation. With its trippy visuals, fast-moving plot and great leading actress, 'Lola Rennt' is unmissable, albeit it very silly at times, and yes, a lot of it is just a girl running. But it's German, so it's wonderful...
-
MCT:June 27, 2008
A perfect movie. The music, the editing, cinematography, writing, all working on overdrive and complimentary each other perfectly. Each time I see it, I'm impressed and enthralled. Experimental film as a parlour game, it's brilliant. One of the top ten best films of the 90's.

Tenho uma memória afetiva muito boa com relação a esse filme então sou suspeito...
De qq forma, OTIMA trilha sonora e edição garantem um filme rápido, inteligente e que te faz pensar sobre algumas escolhas da vida.
Amo muito!

I love this movie some things about it are just classic. I owe my love of the movie due to the repetitive showing of it in my high school german class. We must have watched it about 40 times over four years, 60 if you include the times we only watched parts.
