SummaryIn Tom Twyker's film Run Lola Run, Lola is a character kinetically driven by her love for her boyfriend, Manni, and her desire to save him. This drive takes her on three separate but similar journeys, with fate and timing to decide the outcome. Lola’s drive to find a hundred thousand marks for Manni in twenty minutes is a spastic journey of desperation played three times over. Because of this, the filming of motion throughout the film has been submitted to meticulous detail. Music, editing, sound and mise en scene also play major roles in the film’s emphasis on movement. The film has a way of forcing the viewer to tension, imbuing in the audience a sense of fight or flight through the use of cinematic elements. In short, Lola’s desperation, anguish, helplessness, determination and ultimate triumph are lived by the viewer as well. Run Lola Run is a film whose technical aspects work to simultaneously enhance the struggle of the protagonist, Lola, and fuse audience identification with her.
