ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS
Yeah. Good additions. Elevator is lesser know and great,
ReplyDeleteI don't think of Run Lola Run as an independent film in the way that Living In Oblivion is indie. I do love Run and thought Franka Potemke made the first two Bourne films more deeply realized and entertaining. She's a great actress.
ReplyDeleteI hate the American version of Run that is dubbed with high pitched American voices. The voices of the characters in the original German film are part of the story.
