+Sometimes you find SciFi in the worst places, like Disney.
+Sometimes you find it in a strange German techno thriller.
+
+The story of _Run Lola Run_ is one of the simplest I've ever witnessed:
+Lola's boyfriend, Manni, screwed delivery of 100000 Detche Marks (close to 83k Eur in 2024) and now his boss is going to kill him within 20 minutes.
+It is up to Lola to get the money, and then run as fast as she can to him - before he does anything stupid.

+
+This does not sound _scifi_ but there is one element that convinces me: butterfly effect.
+The one from the mediocre Ashton Kutcher movie and a great movie from Kieslowski.
+We rarely speak of it today, but a few years ago it was quite popular.
+In _Run Lola Run_ we see different outcomes depending on a very slight changes.
+This, and Lola's _magical scream_ are the only fantastical elements here.
+Enough for me!
+
+The story is serviceable - it's not bad, but it's also not memorable.
+
+What is memorable is how the movie is made.

+There are quite a few running scenes here

+
+There was this short period of time, when a few ultra-energetic movies were made.
+Think Pi, or Human Traffic.
+They seem more like something you would see on MTV than a full length movie.
+Lola runs, some powerfully techno music plays _loudly_ and that's basically it.
+We've got some breaks with dialogue, but most of the movie is pure, raw energy.
+Think _Mad Max_ has aggressive montage?
+Check again.

+
+_Run Lola Run_ is a midbudget (low?) thriller with SciFi elements which is very much a forgotten genre.
+It's also very, deeply _european_, which I love[^fn:1].
+It's an enjoyable, non-insulting ride.
+But it's a not lost classic.
+
+[^fn:1]: Berlin, where action takes place, is so clean here.
+    I say that as a Pole.
+    Our cities back then were far from being nice to look at.
+    It improved though!
