Lola... running.

Shawn

If just a few little details about the beginning of your day were different, would the following events in that day become completely different? And does that sentence make any sense at all? I hope so, because that's the basic premise to this movie. Lola picks up a phone call from her boyfriend, and he explains that he's really screwed up a "business" deal, and he needs $100,000 by noon. Lola runs to his rescue, and tries to come up with $100,000 on her way. Eventually at noon something goes wrong, and the same scenario keeps repeating, with just a few minor changes affecting the entire outcome of each scenario. It's kind of like Groundhog Day. This one is characterized by a furious pace that almost makes you hyperventilate, and the style that the movie is shot in adds to the speedy pace. Keep a paper bag close by just in case, and it's German, so prepare for subtitles.
