A 1998 German thriller film written and directed by Tom Tykwer, and starring Franka Potente as Lola and Moritz Bleibtreu as Manni.

The film begins with Lola receiving a phone call from her boyfriend Manni. He works as a low-level courier for Ronnie, a local crime boss. Manni was supposed to bring 100,000 deutschmarks (the profits from some the ostensibly illicit sale of diamonds) to his boss. Lola fails to pick him up after the exchange due to her scooter being stolen that morning, so he had to take the subway. He panics when he sees some police officers on the subway and gets off of the train, accidentally leaving the bag with the 100,000 marks behind. The bag is picked up by a homeless person.

Manni has to deliver the 100,000 marks in 20 minutes or face punishment or get killed by his boss. Manni reveals to Lola that he plans to rob a nearby supermarket to get the money. Lola urges him to wait and tells him she will get him the money. Lola slams down her phone and starts to think about who can possibly help her. She decides to ask her father.

When I saw a clip of this movie in class I had never seen a movie like this before. It was very graphic, had a lot of points of views, camera angles, symbolism and animation no less. I thought it was interesting how the movie shows how every little aspect of your life matters and affects time. For example, when Lola ran into people in her first run we would see aspects from those peoples lives flash as she passed. She may have only been a blip their life but her running into them affected each person some how and affected how their day went. It makes people think what if this did not happen then that would not of happened and so on and so forth. It really makes a person think.
