"Lola rennt" is genuinely a different experience, it is an artsy movie but not in the hippie sense: you will definitely understand every action that takes place. Still you will not know which way to sit around. When you see this for the first time your question will be 'why nobody else made it that way before'.
There are some similar movies, like "Sliding Doors" but that one barely reaches the same dynamics that will keep you nailed to your place. It is however best to compare "Lola rennt" with some computer game but, again, not in "Tomb Raider" sense, for this time you play that video game and not only watch somebody else playing.
Definitely one of the best German movies of the century, and also it does not contain that usual cliché that too many European movies mandatorily must have.
