Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run)
Tom Tykwer, 1998
This film came to me extremely hyped. A contemporary international film class of mine raved about it. Friends of mine raved about it. It resulted in the Napoleon Dynamite effect for me-- it took a pretty good film I would have otherwise enjoyed and built it up so much I left feeling disappointed.
I knew before I sat down the story would come in three iterations and I knew how they would end. There were some happy surprises along the way and although I was unimpressed throughout the first go around, I liked the movie more as it went on.
However, when all was said and done, I wasn't blown away as others assured I would be.
Kinda Dug It.
