Run Lola Run
1998movie
I know this is supposed to be a gritty, high-speed action movie, but I found this film more of a delight than anything else. I find pleasure and warmth in the absurd, and "Run Lola Run" leans into that heavily. There's a upbeat score, splashes of animation, nonsensical time manipulation, pointless screaming. What's not to love? I can easily see why this is a cult classic in foreign cinema and I could find endless rewatchability in it.

Rather, Tykwer said, Run Lola Run’s form reflects its story and characters, “a film about a person bursting with passionate energy, so it has to be a film that bursts out with passionate energy,” he told IndieWire. “I always try to translate the emotional state of people into film language. So the right translation for this character and this story was to make it a frenetic, energetic, fast film.”
