Product: Run, Lola, Run [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
How do I love Run Lola Run? Let me count the ways...
1. The most original directing I have seen in years. Oliver Stone tried to make this kind of movie when he made Natural Born Killers, but failed miserably. Tom Tykwer succeeds triumphantly.2. One of the best soundtracks in film history. The next time you watch this (and believe me, you will want to watch it over and over), just listen to the music, and watch the visuals - don't pay attention to the dialogue. Amazing, isn't it?3. Franka Potente is one of the most mezmerizing women I have ever seen on screen. You could watch this movie over and over and only look at her face the whole time.4. This movie has the unique ability to make things that you might normally perceive as boring so hypnotic that you can't take your eyes off of it. For example, who would have that a running woman could be so interesting? In the hands of Franka Potente and Tom Tykwer, it is absolutely riveting.For all these reasons and more, see this movie. I love this movie so much, and I've probably seen it well over 10 times, but at the same time it's hard to describe WHY I love it. I've tried to do that here, but I really can't. You are just going to have to see it to believe it.
