	The Movie Chicks - Interview - Tom Tykwer and Franka Potente
		Tom had told me and Benno, the other actor, that he wanted us to be in that shot cause he wanted to do it in one shot.
		Tom: It was really strange for me also to accept that they had just done a film where he was the crazy shouting, screaming guy with a big knife in his hands, trying to stab her.
		Tom: Bodo finds out how who he is now is not the same person as who he used to be and to move forward, he must let go of the old person.

	CER \| German Film: Tom Tykwer's Der Krieger und die Kaiserin
		If Tom Tykwer has a name in world cinema, it is largely due to his Lola rennt (Run, Lola, Run, 1998), a fast-moving, stylish and stylised story of Lola (Franka Potente), who has 45 minutes to save her boyfriend from the vengeful hands of a drug gang.
		Tykwer has not lost interest in the kind of effects that were the core building blocks of Lola rennt, but here they are blended more skillfully into the plot and the film feels far more like a film and less like the extended music video that Lola rennt came across as.
		As such, Tykwer is a rare thing in cinema for this day and age: a grand illusionist and a truly great manipulator of the medium and its ability to effect us as viewers.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Heaven" review (2002) Tom Tykwer, Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi
		Tykwer provides ceaseless, intrusive interpretation of the story and its themes, but he never takes a breath -- even when talking about the emotional impact of a particular moment, he talks right over the moment.
		Tykwer rescued a lot of helicopter footage of the Tuscan countryside from the cutting room floor and has included it on the disc just because it's beautiful.
		Tykwer's sublimely, softly penetrating direction and exquisitely tranquil, often aerial, cinematography of both city and country (by his regular collaborator Frank Griebe) help keep "Heaven" focused on this tenderness and on the repercussions and psychological aftermath of Philippa's reckless actions.

		Of course, Tom Tykwer does not belong to the New German Cinema of the 70's and 80's.
		German film was very popular in 90's, Tykwer along with Wim Wenders' Oscar nomination for Buena Vista Social Club, Caroline Link's Oscar nominations for Beyond Silence and Nowhere in Africa, and numerous other great films from Germany (Aimee and Jaguar, The Harmonists, and many others).
		Tom Tykwer was born 23 May 1965 in Wuppertal, Germany - famous for its Schwebebahn until then, now as the birth place of Tom Tykwer ;-).

		Tykwer did not, however, protest on June l5, '99, when the Lola-look was transferred to Michael Naumann (SPD), Germany's first Minister of Culture, in a large digitized photo printed by the Berliner Morgenpost.
		Tykwer is in fact convinced that the film succeeds in being so alive precisely because of the contrast between its absurdly synthetic background and the emotions expressed so honestly and vividly by its main protagonists.
		And Tykwer's Lola is symptomatic for the new Berlin, "das gerne wie das Neue Jahr geschrieben wird.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Heaven"
		German director Tom Tykwer's movies are less about doomed romanticism than about romanticism that flourishes in the face of doom -- even at their most devastating, there's always something persistently optimistic about them.
		Tykwer's filmmaking here is attenuated and precise, but even though the action unfolds slowly, it's always driven forward by a quietly fierce momentum.
		Tykwer is in love with the classic convention of lovers on the lam, but he hasn't worn it out yet.

	Heaven
		When the Polish master died, the script for the first was passed to the German director Tom Tykwer who had himself already plumbed the subjects of fate and coincidence, as well as "the relationship between the two", and was therefore a perfect choice to interpret a work sitting squarely in Kieślowskian territory.
		Tykwer is careful to spend time with them beforehand as they chat tenderly with their father; in the lift itself, they count the floors as they travel upwards.
		Tykwer hints at this in a typically Kieślowskian shot (recalling Delpy in the hotel room in White) when the two wake up together in their hiding place, staring into one another’s eyes in silence.

	AboutFilm.Com - The Princess and the Warrior (2000)
		Tykwer's movies contain coincidences that might seem preposterous in a different context, but in a Tykwer film, they are not coincidences at all.
		In Tykwer's hometown of Wuppertal, Sissi is a nurse at a residential facility for the mentally ill, where she also resides.
		Tykwer still has a knack for making your heart catch in your throat with a camera movement, as when the camera dives into a seashell that Sissi holds up to her ear.

	OFFOFFOFF film review RUN LOLA RUN German movie by Tom Tykwer with Franka Potente, Moritz Bleibtreu
		No matter to which of these hypotheses you ascribe, Tom Tykwer's exhilarating "Run Lola Run" reconsiders and re-executes the pitfalls, obstacles, and decisions its central character faces during the longest twenty minutes of her life.
		Tykwer punctuates his film with inventive and-thens, as the denizens Lola encounters have their futures economically summarized in snap-happy Polaroid fashion — shrewd stabs at sex, religion, vice, death, and success.
		Lola is a commanding figure in the film and an equally persuasive runner, driven by a pulsating soundtrack (by Tykwer and two of his collaborators) that matches her pace for pace, and breath for breath.

		Shot in Tykwer's native Wuppertal -- a misty city in the Ruhr valley known for its peculiar "hanging trains" -- the setting lends itself well to the telling of a romance that is both moody and absurd.
		Tom Tykwer amazingly improved his storytelling skills with his "Run Lola Run" follow-up, and this will hopefully not be shuffled away to the dark corners of Blockbuster.
		Director Tom Twyker seems to be using the film as a vehicle for some greater philisophical purpose.

		Along the way, director Tom Tykwer pulls out all cinematic stops, mixing 35mm and video, color and fl and white, using pans and dolly shots, fast motion, slow motion, split screen, and even animation, while Tykwer's story explores alternate realities in which the future hinges on the slightest variations in chance encounters.

	Andy's Anachronisms -- Run Lola Run (1998)
		Tom Tykwer takes a simple action driven plot and turns it into something magical to behold.
		While feeling like a music video at times, Tykwer successfully manages to strike amazing balance between the need for panic driven action and introspective discussion on the nature of fate versus chance.
		In a movie where the logical temptation would be to recycle footage common to the three versions, it would appear Tykwer purposefully avoided such a shortcut.

	AboutFilm.Com - Winter Sleepers aka Winterschläfer (1997)
		The marriage of Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer's style and a quiet tale of a wintry tragedy's effects on five residents of a sleepy Alpine village seems like a disastrous concept.
		Winter Sleepers is Tykwer's work from the first shot, and draws you in immediately: a young blonde dressed in bright red stares at a drop of blood forming on her finger, with the camera close in on the finger, when the phone rings.
		Despite the story's essential stillness and quiet, Tykwer keeps the film moving, not only with his active cinematography, sharp editing, and driving music, but by constantly revealing new information.
