Revealing mistake: When Lola screams and the glass clock smashes, you can see the small pellet that makes it shatter, go through the glass and then bounce off the wall. (00:20:40)

9.8/10. My second favorite foreign movie behind Thriller:A Cruel Picture. Franka Potente was perfect as Lola and what a perfect choice she was. She embodies this strong willed character as someone's thrust into a situation by fate.I felt convinced by her performance as she showed depth as this young woman in love willing to go to such lengths for it. The direction was excellent with the idea of things changing slightly 3 times, each an intriguing perspective commentary on social interaction. The director may not have meant this but that's how I interpreted it. If anything else, it shows the lovely city of Berlin. Franka Potente was an excellent leading lady, what more can be said?

Herr Schuster: The ball is round, a game lasts 90 minutes, everything else is pure theory. Off we go.
Trivia: I always thought it was very funny that the boyfriend in need of money is actually called Mannie.Then of course it's also funny that the running girl's name is Potente and the faithful boyfriend is played by (Moritz) Bleibtreu =stay true/faithful. And these are the actors' real names.
Question: I don't understand the scene in the casino. She screams and the roulette ball hits her number. What happened here?

Chosen answer: In the casino scene, Lola breaks the "rules" several times. She doesn't have enough money for a 100 mark chip, she defies the dress code, and the scream is a manifestation of her willpower overriding the laws of chance and probability itself to make the ball land on the number 20 twice in a row.
