What it's about

Lola receives a phone call from her boyfriend Manni. He lost 100,000 DM in a subway train that belongs to a very bad guy. She has 20 minutes to raise this amount and meet Manni. Otherwise, he will rob a store to get the money. Three different alternatives may happen depending on some minor event along Lola's run.

The take

An offbeat film with a more than decent amount of suspense. To that it adds really good music and unexpected animation, to make for a very audacious, interesting and mostly fun film. It uses all this to show how life can change in a twist and how it can be influenced by weird connections of otherwise unrelated events.

Darude sandstorm (with twists) the movie 7.5/10

How wonderful to see this amazing film on a list! I remember seeing this at the art-house cinema in Madison, WI when it first came out. A fantastic, mile-a-minute meta masterpiece.
