Customer Reviews

Time enough for love.

This film may have had a tad of art to it, but for the most part, it looked like a practice RUN for “Groundhog Day (1993). I appreciate the differences, but there is nothing unique about this movie. The only pleasure is comparing this to the hundreds of other similar movies: “Déjà Vu” (2006), “The Sticky Fingers of Time” (1997), “Happy Accidents”(2000), etc.) The story is extremely basic; the boyfriend loses mob money to a bum on the subway. Girlfriend (Franka Potente, quite handsome if you discount the red hair) is frantic to help, must RUN to his rescuer, obtaining 100,000 Deutschmarks (pre-Euro 2002) on the way. We are treated to several versions, and there could have been more. ----------------------------------------------- This film lends itself well to Blu-ray. And there are a few DVD extras worth watching. Unfortunately, they spoke too fast to interpret, so I needed the English subtitles. I would have preferred German subtitles, then I may have been able to keep up. There is an English soundtrack, but much is lost in the translation. A good follow-up movie would be “The Lives of Others” (2006).
