Lola Rennt...or Run Lola Run as it is known to cult film enthusiasts is a classic. The pace, the energy, the vibrance (more than Lola’s flaming orange hair) and the slick editing make it an experience which takes you along and leaves you at the end with the feeling of having gone through a roller-coaster. It is a feeling that no review can do justice. Feel it and tell me what you think!
The plot if that is really what you want to know read other reviews...I shall focus on the feeling...if I can...
The movie (watch only the german version...with english subtitles if you must....never never watch a dubbed version....the beauty of the german ’Scheise’ can never be translated into the vulgar english ’’shit’!!!) is quick and saying that it is quick is like saying that the world is round...the editing is one of the finest I have seen in ages and the industrial-techno mix of a background (scored by Tom Tykwer the director himself) is as relevant as the dialogues. Watch it with fellow anti-social elements for the maximum effect. and don’t ever dare pause and rewind to figure out something...trust me it will comeback to you..and if you cant figure it out at the end of the film get your head examined!
