Profound Connections...

Director Tom Tykwer follows up his blockbuster hit, Run Lola Run, with a more mature but somewhat less energetic story about two lonely people that destiny may or may not have brought together. This is truly a filmmaker's film... not a studio concoction.

Richard Propes' Comment

Yes, it's true. I'll confess it. I actually collect nurse romance novels. I should count them, but I have quite a few. It started as a joke and took off from there. So, odds are if there's a film featuring a nurse as a central character...well, I'm going to watch it. Perhaps it's my over 50 surgeries...perhaps it's some weird fantasy. Perhap's it's both. Regardless, "The Princess and the Warrior," written and directed by Tom Tykwer is, indeed, different from his hit "Run, Lola Run." This film is more character-driven, thought provoking and emotionally centered in looking at destiny, love, loneliness, and the paths we choose. Franka Potente is wonderful as Nurse Sissi, a devoted nurse in an asylum who experiences a chance encounter with a man who may, or may not, be the man of her destiny.
