Don't EVEN think you're ready for this!
Wouldn't it be great to be able to depend on American filmmakers to come up with something like this even once in a while? Combining mind-blowing originality with twists and turns that take your breath away, Tom Tykwer has written and directed a tornado of a film that will haunt you for a long time after you experience RUN LOLA RUN. Utilizing an ingenious three-part harmonic idea, he introduces us to the characters and then turns us loose to experience the unfolding drama as Lola must attempt to save her boyfriend from certain doom unless she can come up with a LOT of money in twenty minutes. But you already know that. What you DON'T know is how thoroughly this film will blow you away! Try focusing on anything but the brilliance of this effort as the credits roll by when it's over. Truly original and completely inventive, RUN LOLA RUN is a classic!
