All About My Mother
 
May 28

The Princess and the Warrior (2000)


This film is part of the Columbia Center for the Arts Foreign Film Series, every fourth Wednesday.

German director Tom Tykwer reunites with Run Lola Run star Franka Potente in a darkly skewed heist movie with obsession at its core. Sissi (Potente) is a nurse in a mental ward who gets run over in the street by a truck. Quick-thinking Bodo (Benno Furmann), a bank robber, saves her life --- not knowing that, in gratitude, Sissi would haunt his every move like a lovesick puppy!  

When
