Manni's boss is a shady car
dealer. One day he gets DM 100,000, but Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu) has to carry it
in a bag for him using the underground. And it's not his day. There is a ticket check and
Manni of course doesn't have a ticket. So, what should he do? - He leaves the bag and
steps out of the train trying not to get caught. A few minutes later he has to tell his boss about it. But the latter doesn't see the funny side because he desperately needs the money. So he gives Manni 20 minutes to raise another DM 100,000 - otherwise he'll be dead... As a last resort Manni calls his girlfriend Lola. And Lola runs!

| Criticism: |  "Run Lola Run" received 8
awards at the 49th German Movie Awards: Best movie, best supporting actress (Nina
Petri), best supporting actor (Herbert Knaup), best director (Tom Tykwer),
best camera, best cut und both filmgoers' awards: Best movie and best actor/actress of the
year (Franka Potente)! Even if he doesn't get a prize Moritz Bleibtreu
also puts on a very good performance as Manni. Tom Tykwer has tried some really
experimental elements in this film, expecially in using camera and cut in order to produce
effects. He hasn't done it in the high-tech style of Hollywood with thousands of computer
animations but with real scenes shot on location. In this way he has produced a lot of
atmosphere... |
