Product: Run Lola Run [Blu-ray] (2008)
Rating: 5.0
Fantastic and breath-taking
Every now and then, a great foreign film makes its way across the pond. And films like "Run Lola Run" makes me wonder how many other great foreign films we're missing out on because Hollywood is unwilling to distribute them to American audiences. Of course, there's also the minor fact that, until recently, few Americans were willing to give subtitled films a chance."Run Lola Run" is a masterpiece. Combine the look of Madonna's "Ray of Light" music video, and the inter-twined subplots of "Pulp Fiction" and you get a basic feel of what to expect from Lola. The soundtrack fits the film like a glove, doing for Lola what say, a John Williams soundtrack does for a Spielberg film. You owe it to yourself to run, not walk, and check this film out in its original German (down with dubbing!) ... wide screen if possible.
