Run Lola Run (1999)
Run Lola Run - Twenty Minutes
One of the most inventive and original movies ever made,Run Lola Runfeels at times more like a video game than any other movie you might have seen. The movie tells the story of a smalltime drug courier who has 20 minutes to replace $100,000 that her boyfriend has lost.
This premise might seem thrilling in and of itself, but the central conceit ofRun Lola Runis that we see her try to obtain the money in three separate ways, and each comes with its own trials and tribulations. It’s a time loop, but one that feels thrilling each time we arrive back at the beginning.
