Rating: 5.0
Eternal Return
I thoroughly enjoy movies that handle their multidimensionality with casual grace. Run Lola Run is in every way wonderful without in any way seeming to try. The plot is engaging, fast paced, well written, and packed with enough detail to bring you back again and again. While a viewer might easily enjoy the film simoply on the basis of the staccato story line, it might also be savored for its thorough and precise treatment of Nietzche's concept of eternal return. Triggering thoughts in me similar to those experienced while reading Milan Kundera's "Unbearable Lightness of Being" I was pleasingly surprised by the true exactitude of the plot. Not a word, a shot, an image, or a second is wasted.
