| This is such a
strange film, you can't help but love it. I guess it being a
late-90s German movie featuring young stars and coming from
a young director explains everything.
I'm sure that if you haven't
seen this movie, you've either heard about it or have been
exposed to an imitation of it, whether you've known it or
not. If you recall in the first episode of "Alias,"
Jennifer Garner's character, Sydney Bristow, dons a
bright red wig and euro-punk-ish clothing and runs around to
some clanky techno music. This was creator J.J. Abrams'
ode to Run Lola Run.
And that sums up the movie
pretty well.
You know Franka Potente
from The Bourne Identity & The Bourne
Supremacy. You don't know Moritz Bleibtreu, but
he was in Munich as well as tons of German movies.
They are really the only two stars, although there are some
smaller roles.
I really can't say much more.
Just check it out. You will appreciate that you did. I won't
spoil anything.
