DVD Reviews of Run Lola Run
DVD Review: Keep trying til You get it Right
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched "Run, Lola, Run" without any real insight on what to expect. I had gotten the idea that it would probably be of more interest to young adults but I can attest that us older folks can enjoy it too. I admit that I was initially wondering if I was going to be watching a movie or a cartoon but I got to like the animated version of Lola running down the stairs. The lifestyles on display leave a lot to be desired but I let myself glide past that once I realized what a multi-facetted movie this is.
"Run, Lola, Run" is a movie that shows us a lot of stories within the stories and a lot of alternate scenarios. If you're one of those "if only" second-guessers, this is your chance to find out "what if". I liked the variables and I thought that the movie was quite unique in that regard. I won't give anything away although that, itself, may be misleading. This film challenges our expectations and, in doing so, might be giving us a glimpse of the future. I recalled a pavillion at the World's Fair Expo '67 in Montreal. It was, I believe, the Czech pavillion and they showed a movie that stopped at different points in the film when there was a major development. There was a "time-out" and the audience was asked to vote for one of several directional options that they were given and the movie proceeded with the requested option. "Run, Lola, Run" looks like a movie in which the production staff got several chances to vote on their options and decided to include them all. It works!
DVD Review: My Favorite All-Time Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The proof of a good movie is how long it remains in your thoughts. I've thought of Lola Run ever since seeing it for the first time, in 1998. It's my favorite movie in the world. I've watched it at least ten times. It convincingly proves that every action you take creates a ripple effect which affects the whole world. For the past ten years, every time something important happens to me I tell myself, That was a Lola moment. Lola runs past people on the street, and the director shows how her passing affects their lives differently (according to whether it's at 12:00, 12:01, or 12:02) by a quick-pace series of photographs of their lives, after this brief encounter. So owning this movie is a must because you'll want to keep replaying the quick series of photographs which show their possible futures, depending on the time of day she brushes past them. Simply amazing. Brilliant acting and incredible filming. Great music and cartoony special effects. People rave about the Butterfly Effect and Sliding Doors but these two don't come close. DVD Review: Run Lola Run
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie in my college film class and was immediately hooked. It is one of the few orginial movies I have seen in years.DVD Review: One of the best films to come out of Germany!
Summary: 5 Stars
We all know that Germans make great stuff. (and I quote the guy from Shamwow who beat up a hooker. yes, I went there!) This film was nothing short of excellent. We watched it in my theater 7B class and I just HAD to own it on dvd. Next to films like The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari and Das Boot, this film is surely a great piece that should grace every collector and movie buff's dvd rack. Franka Potente (Bourne Identity) is just amazing in this film, one of her best roles in my opinion. The storyline will have you hooked from the very beginning, and the ending just blew me away! It was such a fun film to watch, you'll get in on the excitement as well!DVD Review: Still running... on BD
Summary: 5 Stars
Using the 'Multiple lives' concept, 'Run Lola Run' tells the story of Lola, who has 20 minutes to find the money needed to save his boyfriend's live if he does not pay it. The movie shows 3 alternate realities (or 'runs') which all start with Lola receiving a phone call from Manni (his boyfriend) asking for help, she leaves her house and start running to help him. Each 'run' while following the same path presents different situations according to Lola's timing while running with different results each time.
The transfer to BD is simply stunning, featuring video 1080p HD/1:85:1, the colors are vibrant and Lola's hair never looked better, the video quality is such that details not noticeable in the DVD can easily be spotted on Bluray. For example, there is a scene where Lola is laying down on a street, in that scene is quite visible that the color of her hair was achieved by coloring over the film as you can see areas of her hair not colored equally. There are also some scenes that were recorded with a grainy filter (like the scenes at Lola's father's office). The detail and the grain was not that noticeable in the DVD compared to the rest of the film not using that filter.
If you have seen this movie before you should know about how great the soundtrack is and how well it fits with the story being told, well, the German Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track included does justice to the incredible soundtrack. Portuguese and Spanish 5.1 are also included, though even with the small annoyance of subtitles, I rather watch the film in its original language.
Same as the DVD counterpart, this release does not include many extras but the movie alone and its excellent transfer are very well worth the upgrade.
Description of Run Lola Run
Lola receives a frantic phone call from her boyfriend Manni, who's lost a small fortune belonging to his mobster boss. If Lola deosn't replace the money in twenty minutes, Manni will surely suffer severe consequences.Genre: Foreign Film - German
Rating: R
Release Date: 1-MAY-2007
Media Type: DVD
It'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
