Run Lola Run

Don’t miss the 1999 cinematic sensation Run Lola Run when it races back to theaters in a magnificent new 25th Anniversary 4K restoration – catch it while you can!

Part of The Loft Cinema’s summer series, 1999! BEST. MOVIE. YEAR. EVER.

In the visually and conceptually exhilarating thriller Run Lola Run, Lola (Franka Potente, The Bourne Identity) answers a call from her boyfriend Manni (Mortiz Bleibtru, The Experiment), a small-time courier for a big-time gangster. Manni has a problem: his boss is coming to pick up 100,000 Deustschmarks in twenty minutes, and he doesn’t have the money. With Manni’s life on the line, Lola runs through the crowded streets of Berlin to reach him and somehow pick up 100,000 Marks along the way, making split-second decisions and encountering acquaintances, family and strangers along the way. As the clock ticks down, and the dangerous obstacles increase, the smallest choices become life-altering (or life-ending), and the fine line between fate and fortune begins to blur. An unexpected arthouse smash, and winner of the 1999 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award, Run Lola Run is a wildly fun, breakneck adventure unlike any other, propelled by frenetic pacing, astonishing editing and a heart-pounding musical score.  (Dir. by Tom Tykwer, 1999, Germany, in German/English/Japanese with English subtitles, 80 mins., Rated R)
