Lola (Franka Potente) gets a call from her boyfriend, Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu): he has lost 100,000 Deutschmarks and has 20 minutes to come up with the money before his boss kills him. His solution is to rob a supermarket; Lola begs Manni to wait and see if she can get the funds from her bank manager father. Lola begins to run. A critically acclaimed experimental thriller, Run Lola Run presents the same 20-minute sequence multiple times, exploring the butterfly effect as seemingly minor decisions have momentous consequences for Lola and Manni.
‘It's both fractured and fluid, with a helter-skelter syntax and a ceaselessly infectious backbeat… a blast’ – Slate
