Run Lola Run
Tom Tykwer’s breathtaking time-loop thriller, with a terrific Franka Potente as the titular runner attempting to save her boyfriend.
Director: Tom Tykwer
Overview
Franka Potente excels as the eponymous runner, who has 20 minutes to deliver money that will save her boyfriend. But as the film progresses, it becomes clear that the clock, which restarts every time she fails, might just be on her side. Tom Tykwer’s breathtaking time-loop thriller is pacey, unpretentious and smart, making the most of its playful plot structure and aided by Potente and co-star Moritz Bleibtreu’s charismatic performances.
