7:30pm RUN LOLA RUN (1998, wri & dir by Tom Tykwer, Sony Pictures Classics, Germany, 80mns, 35mm)

Rarely has a title ever delivered so fully. RUN LOLA RUN is 80 minutes of adrenaline junkie straight to the vain pyrotechnic moviemaking that deliver what cinema should deliver.

The movie has a mischievously creative structure: Lola gets a call from her lovable but lunkheaded petty criminal boyfriend Manni. He needs 100,000 DM in 20 minutes or gangsters will kill him.

Lola refuses to believe anything is impossible and bolts out her apartment door to problem solve this very large ask.

We then see a number of different ways everything could do depending on the MOMENT she makes the decision to bolt out her door. Waiting a few seconds more or leaving a few seconds earlier produces wildly different results. None of them predictable.

There's a joy in seeing moments set up in the first "attempt" play out totally different in the "final" attempt. Lola actor Franka Potente holds everything together with her charisma and internal strength.

And the movie is proof that a great idea in the hands of team juiced with creativity can produce a movie that is fun, moving, and inspiring for all.

And we're showing it on 35mm!

Best always,

Craig Hammill

We will do our best to alert the audience. When this does occur, we will offer each ticket holder who chooses not to attend a complimentary ticket to a future event in exchange.

HELPFUL SECRET MOVIE CLUB (1917 Bay Street, 2nd Floor, LA, CA 90021) THEATER PARKING TIPS:

We recommend that you park just outside our theater. Remember our theater is actually in a beautiful street art alleyway in the back of the 1917 Bay Street building. You get to our entrance by taking a right on Wilson, then a right behind the building. We are the first set of black steps on the right after the big gate.

There is also a parking lot at the corner of Mateo and Violet Street, just 2 blocks from our theater, which costs $7 per car.
