Description
Run Lola Run (original German title Lola rennt, lit. "Lola runs") is a 1998 film by German screenwriter and director Tom Tykwer, starring Franka Potente as Lola. It is an unconventional film, in that it covers the same twenty-minute span of time three times, each differing in small details that in turn lead the story to radically different outcomes.
The script follows a spiral structure. Spirals are frequently used as a visual motif.
The film, particularly with its time limit and "multiple lives" concept, owes something to video games. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_Lola_Run [Dec 2004]
