The Princess and the Warrior

Often fascinating but bizarre and, ultimately, unsatisfying.

It's just over two hours long but feels like much more.

Every person's behavior, Tykwer demonstrates with a flourish, is ultimately a matter of chance.

Texture and atmosphere outdo the actual story, but there's not discounting the engaging presence of Potente. This film may not reach the high-water mark of [Run Lola Run], but it moves with the same, alluring flow.
