Lola rennt (1998)

English title: Run, Lola, Run

Guy loses drug money in the amount of 100 thousand marks inside a train. The money has to be delivered to his boss, a drug kingpin, in 20 minutes. He calls his girlfriend and she tries to help him raise an equal amount. Three different outcomes from that premise are laid out.

Ingenious and stylish meditation on the power of chance, within a modern urban context which is prone to produce such chaotic outcomes as the ones imagined here.

Second viewing.

Rating: 68 (unchanged)
