A good movie

I remember, back in the 90’s, when 'Lola rennt' was released, it became an instant cult-classic and Tom Tykwer became overnight the new German movie wunderkind. Personally, I thought it was indeed visually really interesting and Franka Potente gave a very good performance but the story and the whole movie was nothing really amazing in my opinion. In spite of this, I was quite obvious that Tykwer was a talented fellow and I was definitely eager to check his following director effort. Honestly, it is a rather obscure feature and he didn’t get such an acclaim like 'Lola rennt' but I still think it was actually pretty good. The main difference, in my opinion, is that ‘Lola rennt’ was very kinetic and visual, obviously aiming for a young audience whereas this movie was more aiming to a more sophisticated audience and it was sometimes rather difficult to follow where he was going and what he wanted to mean. Still, It is a rather deep picture and I may have not understood all the symbolism but it remains a very well done movie and quite a mesmerizing story. To conclude, even though it is a a really obscure movie, it is actually pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Tom Tykwer’s work.
