RUN LOLA RUN Saturated with irony, the film moves at a blazing speed to the accompaniment of a relentless techno soundtrack; blink and you‘ll probably miss a thrown-in visual gag. Using an innovative mix of animation, still photography, slow motion, and normal cinematography, Twyker illustrates how the smallest change in what a person does can alter the rest of their life (not to mention the lives of others, including complete strangers they pass on the street)... a critic friend of mine, called this a "90 minute MTV video", but, while that statement captures the film's spirit, it greatly shortchanges RUN LOLA RUN, which has as much depth as it has energy and action.
