(aka "Run Lola Run" or "Lola runs")
directed
by Tom Tykwer
Germany 1998
|
After receiving a frenzied phone call from her boyfriend desperately in need of one hundred thousand Deutschmark within twenty minutes after a nefarious dealing turns soar, Lola must quickly decide what to do to retrieve the sum and ultimately save his life. She runs. Running a gamete of modern tricks and formats available to filmmakers, Run Lola Run progressively churns resulting in a purely kinetic piece of work that won Tykwer the 1999 Audience Award at Sundance and has been garnering a fanbase ever since. |

| Comments | Despite the uninspired package and menu art, this is an adequate presentation. The anamorphic image is pleasingly smooth with vibrant splashes of color. Flesh tones tend to lean to the warmer side of the spectrum looking slightly unnatural. Detail levels could be a little more crisp and some minor compression artifacts appear but no ghosting. The German Dolby 5.1 mix carries a impotent punch with solid, but not fully engrossing surround use, this is one film could could richly benefit from the inclusion of DTS. The English subtitles are sadly that annoying blocky yellow style but are well translation with very few errors. The supplemental material is scant with the commentary being the stand out, the music video being surprisingly stale. Tykwer & Potente are chatty throughout and touch upon many aspects regarding the film. It would be nice for Columbia to re-visit the film on DVD but I doubt it, for now what we get is good, but there's vast room for improvement. |
