À propos de ce film

A thrilling post-MTV, roller-coaster ride, Run Lola Run is the internationally acclaimed sensation about two star-crossed lovers who have only minutes to change the course of their lives. Time is running out for Lola (Franka Potente). She's just received a frantic phone call from her boyfriend, Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu), who's lost a small fortune belonging to his mobster boss. If Lola doesn't replace the money in twenty minutes, Manni will surely suffer severe consequences. Set to a throbbing techno score, "Lola's like a human stun gun!" Peter Rainer, New York Magazine.

Notes et avis

Best German movie I've ever seen, I loved the art style and the camera technics as well as the main characters are very likable. The 3 different scenarios gives you more depth to the story and how it plays out in every situation is quite different and unexpected. This is easily a 5/5.

I saw this theatrically during the summer of 1999. This is still the most entertaining art film I have ever seen. Yes, it's short on emotional depth, but it's large on technique, inventiveness and energy. A simple story plays out 3 different ways. The film is best described as an occasionally thought provoking, high energy, clever musing about fate and circumstance. The human characters of Manni and Lola are engaging, but this is strongly a director's film. Holds up well to repeated viewings.

Excellent, excellent movie. Don't miss out on this, no matter what reservations you may have. I don't know what the description means by "post-MTV", but disregard that and check this unique movie out
