DVD Reviews of Run Lola Run
DVD Review: typical low budget european movie
Summary: 3 Stars
It is a story that unfolds three different ways, which is OK, but the heroine must run to make sure she is there at the right or wrong time so that the movie has an end, usually like someone dying. I don't think Hollywood or Bollywood would ever propose such a weak scenario, but you know how our European cousins think, they must have thought it was great. A commercial interruption during the movie would not have been too much!!!!DVD Review: VERY ORIGINAL MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
REALLY GOOD. This one demonstrates how fate and split second timing can make all the difference in the outcome of any event.
Although the final outcome was a bit of a reach, I forgave that tiny misstep because the movie as a whole was exciting and extremely original.
Not for everyone, but if you have an open mind, Run Lola Run is a must-see. This is a plot (or multiple plots) that I can honestly say I have never seen before.
Because Run Lola Run is not to everyone's tastes, I suggest you rent it first before buying. I did rent it, and I am going to buy Run Lola Run this week. I want Run Lola Run in my blu-ray collection.
DVD Review: Innovative Film That''s Always Fun To Watch
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the more inventive movies of the last 10 years, I would think. It was new, fresh and very different when it came out in the late '90s and still is unique and enjoyable as of this review in early 2009. The Blu-Ray edition, by the way, is terrific and worth the money. It looks tremendous.
The movie is short - 81 minutes - but plenty long when you consider it's three versions of the same story, each version about 25 minutes after an opening introduction.
That may sound too repetitive or boring for those who haven't seen this, but it is anything but overplayed thanks to the innovative camera-work and interesting angles on the same story. Watching it on DVD was better than the theater because the 5.1 sound is superior, plus you have the option of a good dubbed version or the original German with English subtitles. I use either, depending on my mood but I lean toward the German with subtitles.
Franke Potente, who has since gone on to become better known around the world from the "Bourne" films, is the centerpiece of this film and very, very interesting. The looks of shock on her face, her flaming red hair and wild general appearance and the crazy things that happen to her are always fun to watch and hear.
Added to the unique cinematography, which includes tricks here and there, is a pulsating electronic soundtrack that brings added life to this already kinetic, involving film.
The high rating I give this film could really be summed up in two words: DIFFERENT and FUN.
DVD Review: Run Lola Run
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a FANTASTIC movie especially for people who are interested in exploring alternate realities and having serious discussions related to how one single split-second decision can change everything! I've watched this movie several times and it still WOWS me. The star, Franka Potente, who also played the girlfriend in The Bourne Identity, is amazing.
The comic relief in the 'cartoon' segments makes this movie lots of fun to watch as well. Viewers will also want to hit the slow motion button to see all the details of the lesser characters life changes. This movie is stunning and is a 'must see' for all thinking movie buffs as well as people who enjoy pondering the wonders of "what if?".
DVD Review: Good fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Ah, the 1990's, before cell phones were ubiquitous and people still used phone cards. A great action movie, not too much violence and not predictable. Keeps you thinking too. The only criticism I have of the Bluray version is that you can see some of the scratches on the film, it seems this wasn't digitally remastered.
Description of Run Lola Run
The story of two young lovers who find themselves with very little time when a shady deal goes awry. Manni who works for the mob has 20 minutes to find 100000 missing deutsche marks. Lola is the only person who can rescue him from a terrible fate. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 05/22/2007 Starring: Franka Potente Moritz Bleibtreu Run time: 80 minutes Rating: R Director: Tom TykwerIt's difficult to create a film that's fast paced, exciting, and aesthetically appealing without diluting its dialogue. Run Lola Run, directed and written by Tom Tykwer, is an enchanting balance of pace and narrative, creating a universal parable that leaps over cultural barriers. This is the story of young Lola (Franka Potente) and her boyfriend Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu). In the space of 20?minutes, they must come up with 100,000?deutsche marks to pay back a seedy gangster, who will be less than forgiving when he finds out that Manni incompetently lost his cash to an opportunistic vagrant. Lola, confronted with one obstacle after another, rides an emotional roller coaster in her high-speed efforts to help the hapless Manni--attempting to extract the cash first from her double-dealing father (appropriately a bank manager), and then by any means necessary. From this point nothing goes right for either protagonist, but just when you think you've figured out the movie, the director introduces a series of brilliant existential twists that boggle the mind. Tykwer uses rapid camera movements and innovative pauses to explore the theme of cause and effect. Accompanied by a pulse-pounding soundtrack, we follow Lola through every turn and every heartbreak as she and Manni rush forward on a collision course with fate. There were a variety of original and intelligent films released in 1999, but perhaps none were as witty and clever as this little gem--one of the best foreign films of the year. --Jeremy Storey
