Product: Run, Lola, Run [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
"Lola Rennt" ist ausgezeichnet!
Tom Tykwer's "Run Lola Run" is an extremely exciting, entertaining film to watch. I first saw the film 7 years ago, and it's now a lot of fun to re-watch it and see how much of the German I can understand. This film stands out not only as a great foreign film, but as an excellent action/adventure film as well. If you have any friends that you want to introduce to foreign films, this would be a great one for them to start with, even if they are a little resistant to the idea of reading a film. Besides the brilliant and highly athletic performance from Franka Potente, who has since gone one to make many well-known films in the U.S., "Run Lola Run" also boasts excellent editing, a great visual style and of course, a really catchy German techno soundtrack. I just read a review on here that suggested there should be an American version made, and I'm all for that, if it's done well. I would agree with having Scarlett Johansen play Lola, too. I've made "Run Lola Run" part of my personal DVD collection, and you would be wise to make it part of yours as well.
