Tom Tykwer, Franka Potente on the frenzy of ‘Run Lola Run’ and its theatrical re-release

It’s been 25 years since “Run Lola Run” was released in the United States. The small German experiemntal film about a woman who has 20 minutes to try to collect 100,000 Deutschmarks to save her boyfriend’s life became a modest hit and cult classic.

And when you’re 22 and making an experimental indie with like-minded, convention-defying peers, hair damage is not top of mind. It was just part of the reckless fun of making this wild film about a woman who has 20 minutes to try to collect 100,000 Deutschmarks to save her boyfriend’s life. There was stuff like “The Matrix” and a movie like “Man on the Moon,” this really great, strange film that Miloš Forman did with Jim Carrey.
