RUN LOLA RUN: Women In Film Fest @ FOMO Cinema Tbilisi
Saturday 4. April at 17:00 - 18:21
FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi
Tom Tykwer | 1998 | Germany | 1h21m | German language with English subtitles
This is film #19 in FOMO’s extended Women in Film Week, a program built around female performance, female subjectivity, and the many ways women’s stories are written, performed, directed, and brought to life on screen.
Tom Tykwer’s RUN LOLA RUN begins with a simple premise: Lola has twenty minutes to find 100,000 Deutsche Marks and save her boyfriend. What follows is not a single story but three variations of the same situation, each one shaped by small changes in timing, movement, and chance. The film resets and runs again, showing how minor decisions ripple outward and alter everything that comes after like The Butterfly Effect.
Franka Potente’s performance drives the film forward. Despite smoking two packs of cigarettes a day on set, and not being a runner or training for the role, she spends practically the entire runtime of the film in motion.
The film draws on video games, electronic music, and montage to build momentum, but it is also concerned with causality, repetition, and the idea that a life can split into multiple possible outcomes. Each run becomes a test of what can be changed and what cannot.
