Timing is Everything in Run, Lola Run
In his brilliantly paced film, Run, Lola, Run, Tom Twyker explores such age-old truisms of life as "timing is everything," "he got what he had coming to him", "I wish I had it all to do over again," and "she'll do anything for love." Twyker is also fascinated with point of view, showing us (the audience) relationships between characters that don't even know each other. Does this film sound too thought-provoking, too heavy for you? Twyker uses montage, editing, and rapid-paced shot selection to create a technician's paradise. This is the film for you if you like an action flick as well as something that will stimulate your gray cells. Truly a brilliant director-based film in an era of cotton candy fluff product movies.
