Our year-long Keeping the Score series continues with a new restoration on the arthouse classic RUN LOLA RUN. ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐๐: amblertheater.org/specials๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฒ: 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 whoโs 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 โ90s arthouse cinema. Presented in a new restoration. In German w/ subtitles. Rated R.
๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ: Released in the late โ90s,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 โ80s pop. The filmโs 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 โThe Unanswered Question,โ a chamber ensemble piece by American composer Charles Ives from the early 20th century. In Ivesโhh original composition, these chords symbolize โthe Silences of the Druidsโwho 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.
๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Be it a gentle piano interlude or a glorious orchestral fanfare, no element of filmcraft sets a movieโs tone and identity quite like the musical score. Film music has the power to underline a filmmakerโs 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 cinemaโs iconic composers whose musical talents enrich the images we see on screen and have us humming their unforgettable melodies as we exit the auditorium.
