movie review - Run Lola Run

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2001.06.08

This is a surprising flick from Germany. It is essentially the telling of three variations on the same troubled day in the life of our heroine, her parents, her lover, several peripheral characters, and a certain bank.

It's a fast-paced flick, with the lead character actually running extensively throughout much of the film, and the dialog running throughout. The bizarre retelling of the day with twists makes for a much richer impression of the story. Well done!

Recommended.
