The Goethe-Institut Ottawa's monthly thematic film series on German cinema at Saint Paul University.
Director: Tom Tykwer
With: Franka Potente, Moritz Bleibtreu, Herbert Knaup, Nina Petri, Joachim Król, Armin Rohde, Heino Ferch, Suzanne von Borsody, Sebastian Schipper
Tom Tykwer's experimental, internationally successful and highly acclaimed film tells the story of the young Berlin couple Manni and Lola. When Manni, who works as a money messenger for a car pusher, loses a bag containing 100,000 marks, he faces a deadly problem: His boss wants to pick up the money in twenty minutes - if Manni can't find the 100,000 marks by then, he will pay for his carelessness with his life. So Lola runs off to find the money. No matter where, no matter how. Meanwhile, in desperation, Manni robs a supermarket. But when he tries to escape from the police with Lola, shots are fired - but at the moment when everything seems to be over, time is suddenly turned back in the film: fate gives Lola and Manni a second chance. Once again they have twenty minutes to get the money. And once again Lola runs off...
Run Lola Run, a film that is basically structured like a computer game, is also a run through the reunited city. There are no more borders, everything seems possible. And so the neighborhoods through which Lola runs during the film are not on one route, but scattered throughout the city - it would be impossible to run them in this order and within this time frame (20 minutes). Again and again, Lola runs across the Oberbaumbrücke, which connects the two eastern districts of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, to Charlottenburg in the very west of the city. Other filming locations include the Gendarmenmarkt, Friedrichstraße and the Monbijoubrücke at the Bode Museum.
