Like most of the folks submitting comments on this movie, I saw "Run Lola Run" (or "Lola Rennt", if you prefer), enjoyed it immensely, and eagerly awaited the next bit of celluloid from Tom Tykwer. I snatched up "The Princess & The Warrior" the second it hit the "new releases" shelf at my local video renting megastore, took it home, and watched it immediately (okay, I waited a couple of hours, but you get the point).
Man, this movie is frustratingly good. A bit worrisome at first, what with all the "insane asylum" stuff, but it abandons the cliches and does something fairly original. But still, it's frustrating in that the pacing's much slower than "Lola", and you keep expecting it to rev up. Finally, as the movie comes to a close and you realize it's not ever going to get hyper like its predecessor, you start to think about it on its own merits. And that's when you realize it's a worthy piece of cinema.
And am I the only one that got weirded out about how real the tracheotomy looked?
