A whole different kind of film
[+ favourites] [- hide]

I just finished watching a German film called "Lola Rennt" or "Run Lola, Run" (in English). The film was made in 1998 and is available on DVD. The reason I'm bringing it up is that it was a total revelation to me. A beautifully paced, acted and filmed movie with a whole different look and feel. I know some of you might be turned off by the fact it is in German (with English or French subtitles), but being only 80 minutes long, get it, watch it, watch it again, then watch it with the director's commentary turned on (he speaks English - along with the female lead). It is fast paced, and you won't realized that you just whizzed through 80 minutes.
I really think this film is a style that will appeal to younger persons especially and it is probably a precursor of what is to come (hopefully). Don't miss the opportunity to see what I see as the start of a revolution.
For those that have seen it, I'd like to know how you feel about this film. I haven't been so moved by 'media' in a long, long time. And although the film is sooooooo German, it is a story that we can all understand. Great film, truly great.
