Florian Geyer

I love Moritz Bleibtreu, I dont know if I love him in this movie, but overall. Two other movies I would like to reccomend with him is Lammbock, a german stoner comedy which made my childhood and Das Experiment, thats a really dark one based on the Stanford-Prison-Experiment, highly reccomend!

Amar

Heard this movie is a lot of fun and very fast paced so looking forward to watching it. The Intouchables is a must watch. As is Fighting with my Family which is a sports drama/comedy and Zero Dark Thirty.

Peter Register

Nailed it on the heart attack. That was the security guard in the ambulance.

Ginger

When the video is in NTSC but Netflix in germany shows the film on PAL - that's just mean, Netflix! :D

Ballsac McGee

the tom hardy movie you're thinking off is locke (2013). He's alone in a car. All the coversations are over the phone and we only see tom hardy's character's POV from inside the car.

Stephanie Bedworth

Tom Twyker's next movie also starred Franka Potente. The Princess and the Warrior. It's different from this movie but still quite good.

Ginger

There's another actor in this you've seen before; the guy in the car who presumably gets beaten up off screen in every reality. ^^ He somehow managed to be in everything without really being famous at all. :D He was the 'pig farmer' who got killed by Magneto in "X-Men First Class", the chipper bank guy in "Casino Royale", the autograph getting Nazi in "Inglorious Bastards" and was in "Schindler's List". (So, like almost all german actors in Hollywood, mostly typecast to play Nazis)

Mark Alex Leach

Man, that was such fun, and so much more enjoyable sharing it with you two. For some reason my brain thinks the guys in the ambulance was the bank guard who was having a heart attack as she left the bank.

MoonageDaydream

Man I hadn’t seen this in years. Such an underrated gem. Loved rewatching it with you two and I’m glad you liked it! Forgot how banging the soundtrack is 🕺

Open the reaction video in a separate window (click the YouTube logo), open the Dev tools (F12) and paste $('video').playbackRate=1.0427 into the Console and press Enter to fit the frame rate.

there is an other german movie that kinda is like this one. Its called Victoria (2015) and the whole movie is shot in one continuous, unbroken shot of 134 minutes. It took three tries to shoot the whole movie O.o It is not as well known internationaly as Run Lola Run but still a very good watch but i doubt it whould ever win a poll because its too unknown.

Vwlss Nvwls

I absolutely love this movie and soundtrack!! I wish Franka Potente would appear in more movies. Loved her in Bourne Identity and Anatomy as well.

Maiki
>>161702851

Written and directed by Sebastian Schipper, the guy on the bike in this one. Amazing movie. It actually got disqualified for an Oscar nomination for best foreign film, because there's too much english dialogue in it.

sarCC

Woohoo! The day has come! I saw this 3 times while it was still in theaters, what a thrilling experience! When it hit dvd, I watched it every day for a month. Always one of my favorite movies and soundtracks.

sarCC
>>161703681

I was so mad the Bourne movies deviated from the books; she would've gotten so much more to do and would've stolen the 2nd movie from Damon.

Dioskur

I was 18 when this came out and to this day it is the only movie I watched three times in cinema. Two things I'd like to add: The blind woman is the male leads real life mother. And: Obviously it was impossible for you to get it from reading the subtitles, but the dialogues in this movie are amazing. The coice of words and the way people speak them is absolutely on point and so much in character that you wouldn't doubt anything anyone says in this movie for fake. Not one line. Everything carries a truckload of emotion and character. Then thge bum says "at least give me that" and nods at the gun there is level of pain and desperation and weakness in those few hardly hearable words that tell you so much. And the woman whos cheating with dad, her voice breaks just a tiny bit at so many points that you can feel why she says what she says so clearly as if you had known her for years. This is just an amazingly fitting cast and an stonishing performance of all these actors. Even those that never had a career. Didnt see it for ages and just remembered why I loved it.

Dioskur
>>161696708

Perfect, I allways searched for a way to get a complete match! I allways used youtubes internat feature to speed up by 5% but it unsynched noticably every like 2minutes that way. Thx man!

Tim T—

I saw this in theatres back in 1998. Back then my best friend and I had good streak with movies which we chose only, because the poster looked cool. Without much internet you didn’t knew much about the movies before. And a year later we walked into The Matrix. The poster was cool. George: The Movie is playing in Berlin. Back in the 90s Germany was freshly reunified and Berlin was still very poor and very bohemian, a haven of counterculture, ravers and punks. But it became the capital of the reunified Germany, hence the enormous amount of construction you see all over the city in the movie. 100000 D-Mark would have been converted into 50000 Euro in 2001 and because of inflation maybe 30000 Euro today. My theory is that the movie is an allegory of video games: There is main character, there are NPCs, you have multiple lives and you try until you beat the damn level. A trivia George missed: The movie seem to have inspired the design of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Another theory: The security guard is Lola’s real dad, hence his accidental usage of "Schatz/Dear" and the heart attack magic.

Piep
>>161699044

Oh yes! thank you! it was bugging me the whole movie. i thought it could have been the fairy tale stuff George mentioned in the trivia, but i was never an audio cassette listener.

Vwlss Nvwls

I always figured the trope of men carrying a large pane of glass probably started during the silent movie era, when there likely was not a better way to move large panes of glass. Not sure, but seems logical.

Ginger
>>161696708

Oh wow, thank you - that's so much easier than what I've been doing. Which is downloading the reaction, load it in premiere, note the timecodes of the first and last cut in the movie and the reaction, adjust the speed of the video and re-render it. Edit: Again, thanks fot that tip. I can finally watch "The Wire" now, which I always wanted to watch but only have on a PAL streaming service (and wasn't going to download and speed up every single episode of the reaction ^^)

Ginger

Couple of random thoughts: I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure the guy in the ambulance is the security guard. Also funny, the second I saw: "Oh, Friedrichstraße so this is Berlin." George asked where this is taking place. Also, as a german - why did I keep reading the subtitles in your video? xD One really minor thing that kept bothering me is that you could very clearly see the camera in her eyes at a couple of long shots, especially when she was laying in the street. And again, this movie is just pure 90s nostalgia for me - the old yellow phone booths, telephone cards, Bolle, the cars, the green police uniforms - somehow everything looked kind of adorable back then. :D Lastly: In my headcanon, this is her character from "Bourne Identity". They got in trouble, she had to buy a new identity and move to switzerland. I even makes the following films better, assuming that while we kept following Jason Bourne, she just rewound and lived out another happy life with him.

Ginger
>>161696863

That's the one I thought of when George said the follow up movie was "breathe Lola breathe". :D

Ginger
>>161690421

I'd love for them to watch "Das Experiment", such a great film but MUCH darker than this one. Another film with him that I like is "Free Rainer - Dein Fernseher lügt" but that would be a very obscure pick for a reaction.

Monica Alarcon

You've seen the movie 1917, that's in real time...

Ginger

And yes, Hans Paetsch is 100% the voice of my childhood. Just play any German born in the 70s-80s the first few seconds of him narrating "Hui Buh" and you'll get an immediate "awww!" Just the most warm, grandfatherly voice ever. He was also the narrator for the german dub of "Little Britain".

Justin James

So glad you guys enjoyed this! If I'm not mistaken, this is your first proper German film, so here's hoping it won’t be the last! As much as I love American films, I’d love to see more European and international cinema featured here as well. Many of these films are low-budget, resulting in very creative and artistic filmmaking approaches. They’re generally more morally and narratively ambiguous, and structurally unique, compared to the classic Hollywood three-act hero’s journey. Of course, there are also many American films (some of which you’ve already seen) that align more with these European sensibilities. This genre is generally called "Arthouse," and encompasses films from all over the world. I’d be remiss not to mention David Lynch, who sadly passed away this week—one of the most singular and visionary directors of our time! Here are some suggestions that come to mind: - "Paris, Texas" (1984): A film that could be described as a European story set against an American backdrop, directed by German visionary Wim Wenders. It’s one of my personal favourites. - "Blue Velvet" (1986): A great entry point into David Lynch’s work. While you’ve seen Dune, it’s an outlier and not very representative of Lynch’s filmography. - "Mulholland Drive" (2001): Probably Lynch’s masterpiece—ambiguous and complex. - "Victoria" (2015): A more recent German movie that unfolds in real time over the course of 2+ hours (as you inquired about in the intro). - "Enter The Void" (2009): I was reminded of this film while rewatching Run Lola Run today. It has a unique, surreal, and vibrant visual style. - "The Conversation" (1974): A brilliant movie by Francis Ford Coppola, inspired by the 1966 film "Blow-Up" by Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni. Personally, I prefer Coppola’s version, but both are excellent and definitely worth checking out. - "The Lives of Others" (2006): One of the greatest German films. It's set in communist East Germany. I would also recommend films by Michael Haneke, Jean-Luc Godard, Federico Fellini, and Ingmar Bergman, among others, but these can be quite challenging if you’re not already engaged with European or art cinema. Still, I think you both would really enjoy many of their works if you ever get around to them.

Ketzalborne

one of my all time favourite movies!! so good to see you both reacting to it and enjoying it, thank you, thank you!

Vwlss Nvwls

The guy in the ambulance was the bank guard, not a stranger.

Odd Thomas

For more Franke Potente: The Conjuring 2 & Creep (2004?)

Odd Thomas

I think Phone Booth is real time. The Tom Hardy one is Locke.

Odd Thomas
>>161710717

Mulholland Drive is my favourite movie but I think George would struggle with it as it's the absolute opposite of logical storytelling. Simone might like it more.

Ginger
>>161712637

Phone Booth would also be a great one, haven't thought about that in a long time.

djKENTO

The Movie Simone is thinking about with Tom Hardy is Locke. It would NOT make a good reaction because it’s literally a guy in his car on the phone for 90 minutes. The whole movie is literally just a guy dealing with his crumbling life over the phone. It’s riveting and super unique, but I can’t imagine people would find it a good reaction. The movie VICTORIA is a fantastic thriller that isn’t just in real time, it’s all one single shot done entirely for real with no tricks. Rehearsed and planned out brilliantly. The movie Phone Booth is in real time and that’d be GREAT. Although it is rather similar to Locke now that I’m thinking about it. It’s one guy on the phone for the whole movie, but it’s a hostage situation and the stakes are higher. My favorite real time movie tho… CRANK starring Jason Statham, also probably my favorite Jason Statham movie. the first movie I remember seeing that was in real time is a movie called TIME CODE which is super unique because not only is it in real time, it’s also 4 scenes being shot at once so the movie is always split into 4 quadrants. Would make for a TERRIBLE reaction because there’s no place to get a word in. It’s 4 conversations overlapping and 2 more people talking over that would drive me insane. It’s also technically interesting but not a good movie.

djKENTO
>>161713027

Oh 12 Angry Men might be in real time. I know the play is but I can’t remember if the movie has time jumps.

Justin James
>>161710717

Yeah I totally agree! It was the first David Lynch project I saw, and it took me multiple rewatches, and engaging with a lot of his other work, to finally 'get it'. Now it's one of my favourites. I saw it on 35mm in a packed cinema yesterday, which was absolutely incredible!

Justin James

Simone, in case you haven’t yet, you’ll find the full soundtrack album by searching for the German name of the movie “Lola Rennt”. It’s on Spotify and Apple Music.

Simone's Coconut Squire

So much of a fan of this movie that I'm watching it on my original DVD. Yeah, one of those bad boys with Wide Screen on one side and Full Screen on the other. Remember when THAT was a thing?

Simone's Coconut Squire

Movie in real time: Nick of Time featuring Johnny Depp and I think Charles S. Dutton.

W T
>>161710717

Some nice recommendations, kinda particular to Enter the Void/Gaspar. Connecting movies to Lola, I have to chip in with probably my all-time favorite movie, Cloud Atlas - for which the director Tom Tywker provided the soundtrack/directed it. Not that I usually miss a chance to shill that movie. Sense8 too, while we're in Wachowski land. Speed Racer had lots going for it, too... which, to web more nets around arbitrary patterns, features Hiroyuki Sanada.

Stephanie Bedworth

Oh, the movie, Carnage, is in real time and it's great. Well worth checking out.

sagesaria

Throwing in some of my own notes since I've been obsessed with this movie since I was a teenager - The animated man in the suit when Lola is deciding who to go to for help says "no more bets" in French, and the sound in the background as she's thinking is the sound of the roulette ball. - The man in the ambulance was the security guard, who was in fact having a heart attack. A lot of people miss that one because he looks such a mess. I don't think she was healing him so much as her presence helped him pull together. Though I also kind of like the idea of her staying with a stranger more, as a telling moment that she chooses to pause and show kindness to someone even in a stressful situation. - From what I remember of the DVD commentary, the security guard's dynamic with Lola was deliberately making implications, but kept vague. I think there might be history there, or possibly another mysterious entity like the blind woman. - Speaking of the blind woman, if you look back at the character credits, she doesn't have a name listed; just three dots. So Simone's exactly right that she's some sort of otherworldly presence. - The man who got flipped over the car crash was the one who stole Lola's moped I love the interpretation a lot of people have where they say the movie feels like a video game, it kind of tightens the suspension of disbelief for me, like Lola just has really maxed out persuasion and that's why she was able to go into the casino underdressed and short changed. I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the Saving Manni any% speed run, I was hoping for a long time that you guys would cover this movie :)

Tyler Foster

A couple other "real time" movies that are fun are Alfred Hitchcock's Rope and the Bruce Campbell movie Running Time. Both of these achieve "real time" in the same way -- by attempting to make the movie look as if it was filmed in a single, unbroken shot.

Grumblefunk

club DJs played the hell out of this soundtrack back in the day

I definitely remember that and still have DVDs like that.

SpankTheMonk

Danke, Danke, Danke!! I know you haven’t seen too many independent films on this channel, and I not sure if you have watched more in your lives outside of this channel. But there is a smorgasbord of fun indie films out there. The film “Go” an American film around the time of this film is really some fast fun. I also said bitte all the time after seeing this movie too ❤️

I spent a month in Germany back in 2009 after studying the language for a couple of years in college, which included visiting Berlin for a few days. For some reason, I immediately had the feeling that was Berlin when Lola first runs past the U-Bahn station, and when I saw the 'Friedrichstraße' sign and was like, "Yep, that has to be Berlin!" ...speaking of subtitles, I couldn't help but notice with my rusty German that some of the translations felt a bit off. Like it all has the same meaning as the German dialogue, but some of it wasn't phrased in English the way most native English speakers would say it. Made it a little awkward to read the English subtitles but understand the German being spoken at the same time. I imagine George feels the same way sometimes seeing Mandarin or Cantonese being translated to English in American movie subtitles.

REDR58
>>161707909

Yes I felt some of the translation were a little odd-sounding but it was fine.

REDR58
>>161699044

For a moment I was wondering what are you talking about but then of course I see you mean in the German dubbed version of TNG. It’s so odd for me to hear Picard‘s voice with a different actor. That’s why I do not like listening to dubbing. I’d rather just read the subtitles. I happen to randomly come across a video on YouTube about why Germans hate subtitles. I have no idea if this is really how many or most Germans feel about it, but it’s interesting to watch. Which makes me wonder why people would not rather just hear the original actor’s voice? https://youtu.be/c6x8sapVwiI?si=NxIKinZAeW38Ctzg

REDR58
>>161698750

He was definitely the bank guard. You can see the look of recognition on Lola‘s face and of course he recognizes her. The problem is, as he’s laying prone and his face looks a bit different from that angle it’s not immediately obvious who it is.

REDR58

This was a first time watch for me. Very enjoyable reaction. George and Simone, you talk several times about how literally accurate the title of this movie is. That makes me think of course, of that Simpsons joke about “Naked Lunch” (a real movie from 1991 starring Peter Welles who stared in “Robocop”): https://youtu.be/9sL102pyaLg?si=qNNqqFP1DkY_eXLi

REDR58

The first 50 or so minutes of the 1975 Sidney Lumet movie “Dog Day Afternoon” starring Al Pacino and John Casale are in real time. Otherwise it is a fantastic movie you guys should check out.

Tyler Foster
>>161718886

Very old-school, but I do have to say, having just watched it with the reaction, this has an all-time great 4K UHD.

Tyler Foster
>>161711707

I am pretty sure the fake dad tells her that her real dad died before she was born.

Grandalf

That was great! OK, Lola (the character) has some serious lungs on her. She was running at about a 3/4 sprint for minutes at a time. Franka Potente has some impressive lungs in real life herself but I have to wonder how many times she wanted to kill Tom Tykwer for wanting "one more shot", lol. BTW I think CLOUD ATLAS would be a great reaction for you guys. It's also directed by Tykwer and The Wachowskis.

Tyler Foster

Oh yeah, one other little touch I really like (especially watching the beautiful new 4K UHD version that I have) is Tykwer's choice to use standard-def video whenever it is a part of the movie that does not involve either Lola or Manni.

JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy

Great movie for an adrenaline and stylistic kick to put on after not seeing it for a while. Fun fact here in Australia is when the film player on free to air television in the early to mid 2000s it would do so with 20 minute sections uninterrupted and then play 3-5 minutes worth of adds between them. I choose to believe this was to not break the momentum because commercial breaks know what makes a good action movie… right?…haha

Jacob King

I love this movie. I saw it in the cinema (on the same day as eXistenZ, they really made movies when I was a kid) and the soundtrack was a fixture of my high school years. Tykwer is pulling together a bunch of 90s film trends, the low level gangster story, the non linear storyline and the rave/techno culture so there are not many movies exactly like this. The closest American equivalent is Go which you should absolutely watch.

>>161699044

Sorry, should've clarified. I don't mind dubbing. I grew up with it and even today on regular german TV, there's barely an original audio option (which is a shame). My parents speak some english, but they wouldn't be able to watch and understand a whole movie. Besides said regular TV, I now watch pretty much everything in english (with english subtitles, I do know people who find them distracting, my mom gets a headache from them, but I think they're just helpful, given the fact that my understanding of spoken english is pretty okay, yet far from perfect), but there are still some movies I just have to watch dubbed. The original Star Wars ones for example. It's childhood. And I do think we have some really good voice actors. But of course it's pretty odd for someone who didn't grow up with dubbing, when Matt Damon and Simon Pegg have the same voice. Or Christian Bale and Johnny Depp.

Maiki
>>161690421

Lammbock would be incredible. Curious though, how some of the iconic lines come across translated.

Ste Rawlings

The 2015 film Victoria is shot in real time and plays out as a oner.

Maiki
>>161707909

The weird looking "ß" on the street signs gives away Berlin instantly. Keep that in mind for german rounds on Geoguessr :)

Ginger
>>161767555

From the ones I've seen, I would agree with some of these (The Lives of others, Perfume, Sophie Scholl, Downfall, Good Bye Lenin, The Experiment, The Name of the Rose, Fitzcarraldo (although I'd suggest Aguirre first), Das Boot, I HATE Tin Drum but maybe that's just me ^^) and M - many seem more fitted for someone like James vs Cinema (who watched Meteopolis and I think M, but might also enjoy the silent films and all the Fassbinder ones to which I'd add "Welt am Draht") - some seem very specifically 80s german to me and I don't know if they would work well or translate well. I love Loriot and Otto but for the latter I'd rather recommend "Otto der Außerfriesische".

Ginger
>>161707909

The one where I noticed it was when the security guard calls her "Fräulein" and the subtitles read "Little miss" - that felt a bit off.

Christopher Feiertag
>>161767555

Hi Ginger, my intention was to offer a pool of movies that they can pick those movies from that they feel intrigued by.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

I'm admittedly biased because I was young at the time but imo late 90s European techno was the best EDM ever. I was stationed (US Army) in southern Germany from 97 to 99 and those were honestly some of the most fun years of my life, the German clubs were awesome, my friends and I partied in Barcelona, Amsterdam, Rome, and all over Germany. Ah man reminiscence is a bitter sweet treat. But yeah there's a ton of great music from that era for your playlist Simone, German Trance, Dutch Hardcore, from France we had Daft Punk and Mr. Oizo, and a personal favorite, not EDM but great music to chill after the after party were AIR French Band (seriously underrated). But the Brits had some of the best, Underworld, Orbital, the Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack (album Mezzanine personally tested and approved for psilocybin adventures in Amsterdam). Damn that decade had some great music, and movies. KILLING ZOE, great 90s film sort of in the same vein as Run Lola Run. I can't find it streaming anywhere but if you can, it's a great little indie that Quentin Tarantino was involved with, Roger Avary wrote and directed, and he has a credit on Pulp Fiction because some of the stories were collaborative, Avary and Tarantino worked together at the same video rental store when they were first starting out.

Mycenaeus .

I cannot really think of a movie with the same feel, but maybe "23 - Nichts ist so wie es scheint" (1998) and "Verschwende deine Jugend" (2003) could invoke some of it. Also check out "The Beach" (2000), "T2 Trainspotting" (2017), and "Happy Now" (2001). If you liked the cartoon parts, you might be interested in "Werner and the Wizard of Booze" (Werner - Beinhart, 1990). For a movie that is captivating right from the beginning and has a great soundtrack I would suggest the French-Brazilian film "Black Orpheus" (Orfeu negro, 1959).

Ginger
>>161767555

Oh, that was in no way meant as a criticism of your list, sorry if it came across that way. Just felt the need to give my opinion on some of those titles. :) Thank you for the effort. I don't watch a lot of german films so find that list super interesting, really covers a broad range of films.

Tom Hess

Recommendation time: Could you guys add "Das Boot" (The Boat) to one of your future "foreign movie" polls? Best submarine film ever made. German too. Maybe you can add it to a "war film" poll too. Make sure you watch the 209-minute director's cut. It sounds long but it flies by. There's also a 150-minute US cut and a crazy 5 hour version that aren't worth it (not for first-time viewers anyway).

Gary Fixler

Potente is Italian for "potent," or "powerful."

Khalayx
>>161833893

Lol I just tried to watch their reaction to Das Boot earlier this week, and was surprised when I realized they hadn't done it yet

Philipp Roensch

It's a wild ride, probably the most energetic movie I know. Amazing soundtrack, Franka and Moritz in perfect synch with both the light and dark of this story, it works well while being totally creative. The location was a lot of Berlin, the path Lola runs does not make physical sense though, they are too far apart^^. The Euro to D-Mark conversion is still 1.95583, so 100.000 D-Mark with inflation is just ~84.000 €. Yes, even if inflation, we lost half our money to the conversion^^. The movie was extremely low budget though and made 12 Mio Mark from just 3.5 budget. I'm really excited for Tom Tywker's new movie, 'Light' should be coming out this year, and as always recommend Cloud Atlas.

Gary Fixler

Simone: She's like Bruce Willis, bumping into people and getting their entire backstory! me: You mean she's... Runbreakable?
