Product: Run, Lola, Run [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
Startlingly Unique
"Run Lola Run" is a masterpiece so unlike a movie - a movie in the traditional sense, that is, that it's difficult to follow at first. On second and later viewings, it can be viewed for the marvel that it is. It is ingenious in its subtle nuances of passing characters and seemingly throwaway moments that turn out to be so much more, and build the suspense and anticipation, as well as the opprtunity for brilliant twists, throughout the movie. The pulsating sound-track is a stroke of genius, and falls right in step with the relentless pacing of the movie. If you are intolerant of unusual or innovative filmmaking, do not see this movie. But if you have a genuine taste for the bizzare, the creative, the attention-grabbing, and the deviously intelligent, "Run Lola Run" is a movie for you.
