Rating: 5.0
Just Wonderful
All I can say is "Wow." After viewing Run Lola Run once, I was sucked in. And now, after having seen it at least 10 times, I still love it just as much as I did the first time. I've seen this movie so many times, I swear I can speak fluent German! It quickly became one my favorite movies of all time. First off, the greatest part of the film is Franka Potente. What a great actress. She makes Lola a believable heroine, and she makes you want to dye your own hair flaming red. She's tough and fearless, and will do anything for the love of her life. The movie plays out 3 different times, each time with a different ending, but every time with one goal: save her boyfriend's life. The movie plays out almost like a music video, for the better part of the film is Lola running through the streets of Germany with a techno-like soundtrack playing in the background. The movie is not even an hour and a half, (some people say that's a good thing) and it goes quick. And, I will be the first to admit, it's not a deep movie, but it's fun. It's fast-paced, exhilerating and just wonderful, and if you haven't seen it yet, please do - it even appeals to anyone who has never seen a foreign film before.
