Product: Run, Lola, Run [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
The Ultimate Music Video
My only complaint about this movie...it was too short. I could have watched another hour if the quality stayed the same. It was unfortunate that Run Lola Run didn't have move exposure in the US. It was the perfect fusion of form and function. I'm not sure what played a more important role, the music, the story, or the red hair. They were all intertwined so perfectly that I found myself drawn in more than I've found with almost any other movie.This movie is driven by a pulsating, drving beat. I found myself unable to keep from moving with it. But, it's more than just a music video. The story behind this movie, similar to Sliding Doors, is one of "What if..." It takes you through three different scenarios showing how everything is affected by everything else. The slightest change can cause an entire day to go differently for everyone. The metaphysical ramifications are astounding. The future's not fixed. Our lives aren't predetermined. It's also frightening. One small change can alter the entire course of history.Of course, this is completely unnecessary to enjoy the movie. What this movie lacks is tedium. It never lets you down and is always engaging. It also has very red hair.
