Extremely engaging

Saw it many times; once I start I can't stop! And the idea behind is simple but extremely powerful: everything you do, every small gesture, counts. It will change your life.

Run Lola run DVD

I bought this DVD for my granddaughter who had to study Lola Rennt for A Level.
I knew the film well and had it on video but for her it had to be on DVD.

The DVD arrived promptly and was passed on to her. She and her friends have watched it several times and have really appreciated it. More I cannot say.Read full review...

Run lola run

Lola is givien 20 minuites in which to find 100,000 marks to save her boyfriends life, Manni.
A classic DVD shows how devoted lola is to Manni and brilliantly captures the rush to get the money to him, before he goes to rob the shop. This dvd never gets repetitive and you can watch it a billion times before you get bored.
This dvd is a bit dissapointing though because the English adiuo option is really terrible. I found myself getting so annoyed by it that i turned it back to german audio an watched the subtitles.
Still this is one film you must see.Read full review...

Breathtaking Journey into Time

The story is simple and spans a period of only twenty minutes. Lola has to raise 100,000 marks or her boyfriend will die, and the film tells the story of those twenty minutes through three different storylines. Each reflects the effects of slight changes, moments of delay, minor deviations, alternate choices and each plays out the effects these have on the future. We see how the future is written and rewritten by a glance, a moments hesitation, and act of chance connection or disconnection. Three stories are told, but we glimpse the infinity of stories that could and are taking place in every moment and the chain of interconnections that mean that each change changes everything..
The film style matches the frenetic intensity of the impending deadline. The music and cinematic style create an energy such that the viewer doesn’t simply view but experiences the heart pounding exhaustion of the race against time.
It is a film that lays before you the immensity of opportunity that exists in every one of our moments, if only we are alive to see them.
I found the name of this film scribbled on the back of a piece of paper deep in a jacket pocket. How long it lay there and quite what made it surface and not be discarded is of course the story of the film. I thank whoever it was that gave me the note and heartily pass on their recommendation that you must see this film.Read full review...

A Film you won't forget.

I watched this a few years ago and it stuck in my memory, so I bought the DVD. It's very original and imaginative, telling the same story three different ways, depending on what happens further along in the tale. Fast, exciting and with a great modern soundtrack. It's in german with english subtitles, but don't let that put you off, the plot is pretty simple. Watch and enjoy!Read full review...
