See Lola. See Lola Run. See Lola Run some more. See Lola running, screaming, and doing generally crazy things for 90 minutes of intense filmmaking in Tom Twyker’s German masterpiece Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt).
That isn’t really a request… like everything that happens to Lola, its pretty much a demand put upon you. See Run Lola Run. See the critic run out of his chair and to the bathroom and back so as to not miss more than a few seconds of Run Lola Run. See a film that is energetic enough to captivate MTV-viewers and highbrow enough to captivate art house moviegoers.
See it and try to catch the errors while the frames flip by… it’s harder than finding Waldo, trust me. See it and over analyze the film to death. See it and ponder about it’s meaning in faith (hint: the names of its two protagonists, Manni and Lola, are the German equivalent of Adam and Eve (if my secondhand German serves me right)). See it and ponder about how long Lola had to practice screaming. See it and have a helluva lot of fun. See it and write a review in the mode of a children’s book with a dog named Spot in it.
See that in Run Lola Run Lola (Franka Potente), the daughter of the director of a prominent bank and the girlfriend of a gangster that makes Al Gore look competent, Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu) has only 20 minutes (and, apparently three tries) to get 100,000 marks to her boyfriend so that her boyfriend isn’t killed by a gangster. See Lola become the whimsical foil for fate. See Lola put the hundred-yard dash to shame.
Just see Run Lola Run. Please.
