Aro Recommended Run Lola Run

 

Germany 1998, 80 minutes
Dir. Tom Tykwer
In German with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Action/Adventure, Suspense/Crime / Girl-centric

 

Aroview: Runaway foreign-language hit clocks up mileage from a simple conceit - flame-haired punkette Lola has twenty minutes to go like the clappers and save her boyfriend from a cruel and untimely fate.

Exploring several fateful possibilities, this boils down the action-thriller to its rawest element, with power-pop visuals, breakneck editing and pounding techno (by the director himself) orchestrated to quite breathless effect. A more brilliant film might be screaming to get out, but, like a chart-topping pop single, it provides a sheer (if guilty) pleasure.
