Our year-long Keeping the Score series continues with a new restoration on the arthouse classic RUN LOLA RUN. ๐—š๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ง๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€: amblertheater.org/specials
๐—”๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ: This fast-paced, kinetic German crime caper is set across three different timelines that yield vastly divergent outcomes. Franka Potente stars as Lola, a woman who has 20 minutes to run across Berlin and deliver 100,000 Deutsche Marks to her frantic boyfriend whoโ€™s in deep with a big-time gangster. Set to a pumping techno soundtrack, RUN LOLA RUN packs in plenty of explosive visuals, experimental editing techniques, and animated interludes to make it a standout of late โ€˜90s arthouse cinema. Presented in a new restoration. In German w/ subtitles. Rated R.
๐—”๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ: Released in the late โ€˜90s,the score for Run Lola Run has been characterized as relentless, mirroring the vibrant energy of a bustling city. At the time, many critics regarded the film as an extended music video due to its continuous soundtrack. The score incorporates a variety of genres, including the prevalent European and German techno music of the era, alongside elements of jazz, classical music, African drumming, and โ€˜80s pop. The filmโ€™s star, Franka Potente, contributes her own vocals, with her captivating chants resonating throughout the film. Additionally, the score features numerous musical references to the sustained string chords of โ€œThe Unanswered Question,โ€ a chamber ensemble piece by American composer Charles Ives from the early 20th century. In Ivesโ€™hh original composition, these chords symbolize โ€œthe Silences of the Druidsโ€”who Know, See and Hear Nothing.โ€ The music in this film effectively enhances the themes of relentless motion and the fluctuating timelines that the character Lola experiences.
๐—”๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€: Be it a gentle piano interlude or a glorious orchestral fanfare, no element of filmcraft sets a movieโ€™s tone and identity quite like the musical score. Film music has the power to underline a filmmakerโ€™s narrative ideas, forge our bond to a heroic character, and move us to the point of tears. Join us all year long as we showcase cinemaโ€™s iconic composers whose musical talents enrich the images we see on screen and have us humming their unforgettable melodies as we exit the auditorium.
