Tom Tykwer, Germany, 1998, 35mm, 80 min. In German with English subtitles. 

Gripping, pulse racing adrenaline meets MTV-spiked existentialism set to a techno beat in RUN LOLA RUN; a breathlessly hip blend of romance, thrilling action, and animation in perpetual motion. Tasked with the impossible — acquiring 100,000 Deutsche Marks in 20 minutes in order to save her boyfriend’s life — Lola races through three wildly different scenarios, each with a minor, yet vital, difference. Exhilarating, heart-pounding urgency drives this punchy, non-stop thrill ride from visionary German director Tom Tykwer. Premiering to international acclaim in 1998, this dizzying, electro-sensation still hits at 140 BPM.
