Product: Run, Lola, Run [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
Challenging the mainstream concept of linear time
Jean-Paul Sartre preferred the movie above all other art forms because of this medium's ability to express temporal movement. Run Lola Run is clearly a postmodern expression of this temporality; the positivist notion of a universally-accessible, knowable universe is up for grabs; as well as the secular question of fate to boot! All under 2 hours! With minimal dialogue, this is a philosophically astute piece of work.I was unprepared for this movie: luckily, I was the first of my social group to see it. I was almost unnerved by the intensity! The movie met my only workable definition of "good art": I left the experience wanting to carry on with the artists' creation.One of the best movies I've seen.
