  THE PRINCESS AND THE WARRIOR
If you go to see The Princess and the Warrior with the expectation of a fast-paced adrenaline rush like writer/director Tom Tykwer's kinetic 1999 arthouse smash Run Lola Run, you may be a bit disappointed.
Although Warrior doesn't measure up to either Lola or Wintersleepers, it does deal with similar subject matter, like coincidence and destiny, making Tykwer somewhat of a second coming of the late Polish auteur Krzysztof Kieslowski.
Her Sissi is the princess of the asylum; a dreamer who thinks fate brought her and Bodo together for a reason.

 SPLICEDwire | Franka Potente interview for "The Princess and the Warrior" (2001)
With Hollywood calling, her career is blossoming with roles opposite Johnny Depp in "Blow" (she's his stewardess girlfriend) and Matt Damon in "The Bourne Identity" (due in Spring 2002).
But the part she's most proud of at the moment is that of Sissi, the timid, shrinking, simple-hearted heroine of "The Princess and the Warrior," written and directed by Tom Tykwer, the brilliant hand behind "Lola" and Potente's boyfriend of four years.
"Princess" is the story of Sissi's unusual emergence from her turtle shell after being rescued from a traffic accident by an extremely melancholy petty criminal (Benno Furmann).

The Princess and the Warrior is the second collaboration between Run Lola Run actress Franka Potente and director Tom Tykwer.
Originally released in 2001, The Princess and the Warrior never became the hit Lola was.
That's not to say this film is a mystery in the Agatha Christie, whodunit sense of the word, but the characters are so slowly and carefully developed through the whole of the film that every new bit of information makes the picture, and the characters, seem so much clearer.

German filmmaker Tom Tykwer's The Princess and the Warrior is one such film.
Deeply whimsical beneath its poker face, The Princess and the Warrior has the structure of an elaborate mind-teasing puzzle.
Princess is far more contemplative than "Run Lola Run," far less energized, and the little tricks of fate that made his last film so unique seem like sophomoric affectations here.

 Louisville Scene | Movies | Movie Review | 'The Princess and the Warrior'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Tykwer takes the opposite approach in "The Princess and the Warrior" by sacrificing action for characterization, and the result is slightly better than "Lola".
As a psychiatric nurse in a hospital where patient glass-eating is just another day at the office, she is struck by a truck in the aftermath of a small-time robbery.
Tykwer provides more emotional depth than his previous outing, but "Princess" is a lot less energetic, despite a photogenic setting (the winding, valley-heavy German town of Wuppertal).

Mix together "Run Lola Run" with "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and pull the result out slowly light salt water taffy and you've got "The Princess and the Warrior." Once again, Tykwer examines fate from the height of his extreme overhead shots and his own self-importance.
Tykwer tries to do too much with "The Princess and the Warrior." Part fairytale, part romance, part self-awakening, part bank heist, there are just too many parts.

One of the major differences between Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run and his follow-up, The Princess and the Warrior, is that The Princess and the Warrior is almost an hour longer than Run Lola Run.
The Princess and the Warrior, on the other hand, is a little turgid.

 SoundtrackNet : The Princess and The Warrior Soundtrack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Does a movie centered on a woebegone "princess" in a psychiatric ward, and a "warrior" lost in his own depressed penetralia mentis share any similarities to its soundtrack?  Like Detritus, the themes in The Princess and the Warrior, as well as in the soundtrack, seem to lose focus as it progresses.
While I was certainly enraptured by the movie's visual imagery, and cinematographic work I was slowly lulled into a disappointing ending where complex characters and storylines fall apart into nothing more than two peoples quest for salvation and release from their own misguided existences.
However, if you are looking for a purely symphonic piece this is a battle you, The Princess and the Warrior will lose.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "The Princess and the Warrior"
Tom Tykwer's "Run Lola Run," an adventure about a young woman on the run to save her boyfriend after a botched drug deal, was one of the most exhilarating pictures of the past decade.
Tykwer's new picture, "The Princess and the Warrior," is a much quieter and much more attenuated movie, and at least part of the time, Tykwer makes the more relaxed pace work; he knows how to infuse even low-key, intimate sequences with a gently bristling energy.
But as flawed as this picture is, there's one sequence in it that has already burrowed deep in my memory, and of everything in the movie, it's the one element that convinces me that Tykwer has it in him to one day make a truly great picture.

 'The Princess And The Warrior'
If the critics were right that "Run, Lola, Run" (1998) was a triumph of style over substance, virtuosic German director Tom Tykwer has corrected the balance for maximum effect in his follow-up thriller, "The Princess and the Warrior."
It concerns no real princess or warrior but their modern-day continental equivalents in the form of shy nurse Sissi (Franka Potente -- of "Lola") and a small-time crook named Bodo (Benno Furmann).
Considering that Tykwer's interest is psychology as much as drama, it's fitting that Sissi is a psychiatric nurse, who lives in the mental hospital where she works.

In "The Princess and the Warrior," Potente plays Sissi, a nurse in a psychiatric hospital.
Benno, it turns out, is a bit of a bad boy, but this doesn't dissuade Sissi from her obsession, but apart from that, he is also the only link she has with humanity outside of the hospital.
In contrast to the frenetic pace of "Run Lola Run," Tykwer's previous film, "The Princess and the Warrior" is a measured, dream-like exploration of the same themes of coincidence and fate.
