FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Tom Tykwer - Lola Rennt 

The plot is simple. Lola gets a call from Manni. Manni lost a bag with 100.000 Marks. If he doesn't bring it to a gangster by noon, Manni is killed. Lola is supposed to help and runs away. Her plan: To find the money somehow, somewhere. Manni's alternative plan: Rob a bank. And in 20 minutes. That's why Lola runs all the faster. This story is told three times with a different ending. Very hip, sometimes Lola runs animated, sometimes in black and white and extremely accelerated. Each of the three plot variations differs in small details - and these determine fate. So it's about parallel time lines. All right? Even the smallest events can have serious consequences. Franka Potente became famous as Lola, although we hardly get to know her character and she is mostly out of breath. Maybe it's the style? Her hair is red, on her stomach a butterfly tattoo. Lola loves Manni and wants to save him from his own stupidity. There are also tragic events in Lola's desperate attempt to organize the money. For example, when her father refuses the money and immediately stresses that she was an unwanted child. Classic film sequences also find their place in the plot variants. The glass pane carried across the street, for example. Or gunfire. Sometimes the intertitle "Now And Then" highlights secondary characters. Essentially, Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run is about FILM itself. (Because: films that offer us character studies are usually told linearly.) Run Lola Run is about the possibilities of cinema. Not about Lola.
