Great German Avantgarde
I am a Dutch Girl who used to live in Germany ,I am married to a US Soldier and lived in the States for a while before being stationed again in Germany now. While in the US I am sorry I missed this movie which was a great hit over here in Germany. I caught this one on TV here and had to order the DVD. Germany rarely makes great flicks, but this is definetely one of their successes. Fast, intelligent, visually exciting with a great pounding soundtrack is what this movie is all about. You get the plot from reading all the other reviews. Being a European I usually am on top of exciting new european avantgarde movies. It took me 2 years to discover this gem, and I am glad I did. If you are young at heart and like to be visually stimulated and have a cosmopolitan mind you will like this one. This is not the movie for your average american joe ( sorry I do not want to insult anybody, but there are people in the States that don't even know where the hell Germany is and think there are still tanks rolling around Berlin ). Europe has come a long way in filmmaking and they do not compare to the Hollywood dreamfactory, however this is a rare exception. Enjoy, kick back and watch LOLA RUN!!
