...AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
"Run Lola Run" is unlike any other recent movie that's been made in several years( that's a good thing by the way}. However the movie is not different just for the sake of being different. This movie is a completely original and well structured piece of work.The story centers on a small time criminal name Manni who must have 100,000 marks(whatever that is) in 20 minutes or he will die. He contacts his loving girlfriend Lola and as soon as she leaves the door to the apartment the movie rarely slows down. The movie then shows us three alternate and equally entertaining results to the situation.One of the more interesting innovation was the fact that the movie shows us how the lives of seemingly insignificant characters are affected by their run-ins with Lola. By the third time, since these characters are significant, you just don't care. Techno music never sounded more appropriate(I'm not sure that's a good thing) as it is a good companion to the fast and sometimes exhausting pace of the movie.The movie had style to spare and enough substance so that's why I liked it very much.
