    One of the best films of the 90's, I totally fell in love with Franka Potente after this. I remember the hype when it was first released, I still hear people incorrectly state that it's a 10 hour long art film that just shows a woman continually running. Idiots. This is a great f...( read more)ilm and one of my favourites.

    Lola Rennt is definitely in my top ten favourites. Anyone and everyone in the 21st Century can relate to at least one element of this film. Whether it be in from the family relationship perspective e.g. alienated someway by your parents, the feeling of being shut out, or the feel...( read more)ing of wanting hold onto someone so desperately that you'll do anything for them in order to try and stay with them. But surely the most common theme throughout this film is the essence of TIME. How TIME controls everything and no matter what the normal human being does, we cannot stop it, alter it, or change its course. Time has a knock on effect on the series of events that follow. Ever missed a bus on the way to work, thus you were late for work, imagine the most extreme circumstances and that you were fired for being late, and you were late because you missed the bus and the thought that comes into your head?' If only...' And this chain reaction is exactly what Tykwer is trying to defy. Time. Time and fate. By the end of the film Lola is in control of her own fate. Each time she meets someone on her journey she changes his or her fate.

    A weird and wonderful twist of make-belief through use of a fantastic melange of cinematic techniques, like a timeless bubble. Is it a music video, a computer game, or a 'groundhog' type film? It's all free for interpretation. Tykwer put a lot of thought into the use of medium to keep the audiences attention, to convince them that this is a mixture of make-belief and reality. Shown through the use of cartoons verse hand held camera, photographic evidences verses red scenes (reflection time). Possibly we believe by the end of the film?if Lola can change time, change a sequence of events, can we?

    This is a film that I never tire from. Each time I watch it I notice something that I didn't see the first time. The concept of time, its power and our destiny grows stronger, spinning round and round in my head.

    Tick-tock, tick-tock.

    A young woman receives a phone call from her boyfriend telling her that if he doesn't get 100,000 Deutchmarks within 20 minutes he's a dead man. It tells of the consequences of the phone call in 20 minutes of real time three times over, each containing a slightly differing timeli...( read more)ne, thus showing how minor incidents or coincidence can have a massive knock on effect to not only your life, but those around you. Run Lola Run is very much a product of its time; the techno soundtrack, grunge fashion and fascination with the mathematics of probability (ie "the butterfly effect") all reek of the 1990s, but Run Lola Run still feels strangely fresh, probably because of its brisk, no-nonsense pace and 75 minute running time meaning it never gets too caught up in pretentious navel gazing. I could have lived without some of the directorial affectations that made it feel a little too much like a music video in places, and the coincidences are of course extremely unlikely, but the urban crime element gives it a Luc Besson-esque flavour that makes for an entertaining and original experience.

    Tom Tykwer is the visionary that most filmmakers only dream of being. This is a work of true originality, manipulating time and space as it ponders over the many possibilities that can result from a simple choice. Short and swift, Run Lola Run is a masterpiece, and is destined ...( read more)to be one of the most noteworthy films of this decade, if not the last few decades.

    I thought it was a lot better when I saw it as a 17 year old. It's still good, a little hokey and silly and the soundtrack get grating... but its a fun one to watch.

    Really fucking intense, but I found myself mesmerized by it all. This film is about so much more than merely a girl running to save her boyfriend's life in twenty minutes, it is about the essentiality of time and small occurrences which can change fate, and when it doesn't, you m...( read more)ight just get another chance to change it. Brilliant filmmaking of the gloriously grungy 90s, this is an absolute masterpiece.
