A Must See Movie, Do Not Miss Out
After watching Lola Rennt for the fifth time, its safe to say that this is an excellently written; an excellently directed; and an excellently acted movie. All of these aspects of the movie come together, fit perfectly, work perfectly together to make a excellent movie. This fast paced German masterpeice should be the one movie in '99/00 you should not miss out. The movie was recently released on Video, so if you were not fortunate enough to see it in theatres, be sure to go down to your local video store to pick it up.The movie is based around Lola (Franka Potente) who must save her boyfriend from certain death, and do it in twenty minutes while picking up 20 000 marks on the way there. As I don't want to go too deeply into the plot, I will stop there, if you want to learn more please read the spoiler section of the reviews.Not too go to deeply into it again, the movie is of Lola running througout a German city to get from place to place to collect money in time. THe camera work on the running scene's is fast paced. Different and interesting camera angles and perspectives make this movie a sight to see.The story itself, simple enough, is helped out by the use of symbolism thoughout the movie. While watching try to pick up on some of these symbols in it. Even after watching it five times there are still things that can be missed. I've talked to many fans of the movie that have pointed out some of these aspects of them film. It really is something you must see for yourself.
