Run Lola Run

In the season finale of Season 12, the Mikes are grabbing their bright red wigs and running back to the late nineties to catch up with Lola's terrible, very bad, no good day, in 1998's Run Lola Run.

Mike Field loves this low budget flick that brings him back to "the day"; the club music soundtrack typified by artists like Moby and Prodigy thumping throughout, the nonstop pace of the film, the subtle nods to Hitchcock, and of course, that delightful 80-minute run time.

Butler also enjoys the brisk runtime and the style of the film, but is a little caught up on the inconsistencies in storytelling pertaining to some of the flashes of side character's lives, how we delve into the different branching narrative paths and the films ending, which takes away some of the main character's agency.

Nevertheless, the Mikes encourage all cinephiles and budding filmmakers to check out Run Lola Run.

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
