In this visually and conceptually impressive film, two-bit Berlin criminal Manni delivers some smuggled loot for his boss, but accidentally leaves a huge amount of cash in a subway car. Given 20 minutes to come up with the money, he calls his girlfriend, Lola, who sprints through the streets of the city to try to beg the money out of her bank manager father and get to Manni before he does something desperate. Tom Tykwer’s RUN LOLA RUN (2001, 81 min) sets new standards for the cinema of hysteria.It takes a few moments to muse about the nature of time and the purpose of man… But its real agenda is the purpose of woman.
