Anyone seen Run Lola Run? It was amazing. Great filmaking. Absolutely fascinating.

13. oh I love that!

It's been so long since I saw the movie that I forgot the music.
Is that second song on the soundtrack too? i just found how to order a used copy for 6 bucks :headbang:

[Xipe Totec]

15. Dunno; I only own the movie, not the soundtrack

It's definitely in the movie.

[DS1]

10. The soundtrack is very good at getting you from A to B in a car

and good at getting you speeding tickets if you're not prudent about it

:D

[UndertheOcean]

11. Yes , I saw it , a wondeful film

European's always make better films

[DarkTirade]

12. I haven't, but I'd like to.

I saw the first few minutes but never got to see the whole thing.

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Haven't seen it in ages, but it is a good one.

[bigwillq]

16. One of my fave movies.

The soundtrack is kick-ass. :bounce:

[LynzM]

17. Oh yeah, 6 or 8 times...

It was a favorite of German profs at my university, apparently. :)

If you liked that, you might also enjoy The Princess and the Warrior (also Franka Potente)... different style, somewhat, but also artistic and European and full of twists and turns.

18. General recommendations:

If you liked Run Lola Run, start seeking out foreign films in your community, whether at your local art house cinema or on a college campus or on Netflix, or, if you're lucky, in a city with an international film festival.

You will see plots and characters that you have never seen before, guaranteed, and ways of looking at the world that you have never seen before.

Too many American films these days are brain-dead garbage. For years, I've refused to see any movie that consists mostly of car chases and explosions or concerns superheroes or is a remake of an older classic or a spin-off from a classic TV show or a slasher film or "cute" romantic comedy. That pretty much covers most studio releases, right?

But when I attend an international film festival, I always find at least one film and/or parts of several films that make me sit back and think, "Wow."

[realisticphish]

19. to be honest

that's exactly the same thing that happens in other countries. We only get their best :shrug:

Though, I absolutely agree about the current trend of remaking everything

[applegrove]

22. I agree but sometimes I love a Hollywood brain dead blockbuster.

[Pierre.Suave]

20. Of course I have seen it...

During German class in undergrad.

[bikebloke]

21. Winter Sleepers

Another one by Tom Tykwer. Not as kenetic as Lola, but still good.
