I can't recommend this film enough. The camera work is stunning with some of the best cinematography I've ever seen in a film. The music is not too intrusive, and gently lulls the viewer into another world featuring Sissi and her search for her ideal partner. The movie is a love story unlike any you will ever see again. I fell in love with this movie due to the strong characters, the theme, the music and the camera work. Franka Potente and Benno Fürmann are excellent and the acting/electricity between the 2 characters is believable. It's my favourite film. An outstanding piece of cinema directed by Tom Tykwer.

I did A-Level German, and I had to write a 2000 word essay on an aspect of modern German life. I chose film, and my teacher recomended "The Princess and the Warrior" and "Run Lola Run" (Both in German, and to me, "Der Krieger und die Kaiserin" and "Lola rennt") This film was hard to understand at first, and some of the language was slightly complex, but the cinematography itself, the plot, camera work and the roles of the actors themselves was simply amazing! Franka Potente is very well known in Germany, and having seen quite a few of her films, I think this is her best!
The plot itself is very plausible, and has you believing in it, the anguish both Sissi and Bodo are going through and the tragedy in their lives. I highly recomend!

I have to admit, I rented this one by accident, but it turned out to be a fortuitous accident. I wouldn't have discovered this kinetic, moving and enjoyable film otherwise. The performances were real, in the cinema verite sense, but also dead on contemporary. Cinematography, one of my personal gauges of quality, is of the highest caliber. The script may drag at times, but there is enough playfulness and artful thrust that the viewer doesn't have time to become acutely bored. Owes a bit to the Inmates taking over the institute genre, re King of Hearts and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest, but also draws on myriad other sources, including Goddard and other new wave directors. Would include it in the must rent category, though the buying option presents a more ambiguous dilemma

Not Irredeemably Bad
I must admit I'm a little puzzled by all the glowing reviews. It's the same kind of puzzlement I usually feel after a Steven Soderbergh or Pedro Almodovar film - everyone raves... Read more

Most surprising good film
I was expecting a bit of a chick flick by the look of the cover but was pleased to find it was far more than that. Read more

Moving and surreal
Bodo is emotionally blocked and the whole film is a gradual, dreamy movement towards his awakening. His detacment pulls against the commitment of the nurse whose life he saves,... Read more
