RUN LOLA RUN
Special Features: New 4K Restoration
Lola (Franka Potente) answers a call from her boyfriend Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu), a small-time courier for a big-time gangster. He has a problem: his boss is coming to pick up 100,000 Deutsche Marks in 20 minutes, and he doesn't have the money. With Manni's life on the line, Lola runs through the streets of Berlin to reach him and somehow pick up the marks along the way, making split-second decisions and encountering acquaintances, family and strangers. As the clock ticks down, the tiniest choices become life-altering (or life-ending), and the fine line between fate and fortune begins to blur. Told in three variations with three endings, RUN LOLA RUN is a fast-paced, kinetic exploration of destiny, set to a pumping dance music soundtrack and interspersed with animated interludes, flashbacks and flashforwards that remind us of life's limitless possibilities. This may be a 1998 release, but it's got that end-of-the-millennium energy that makes you want to party like it's 1999 — which is, in fact, the year of its U.S. premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for World Cinema.
