Sliding Doors
Originally released: 1998
It's a Gwynnie double bill - strangely, not as hideous as you might fear. The languid American plays two versions of the same Britbabe, changed dramatically by a tiny turn of events. In version one, she does an excellent English accent, droops about and simpers a bit. In version two, she does the same with long hair. Actually, it's a sweet rom com, a tad schmaltzy but with some lovely shots of London. Though not nearly as adrenalised as Run Lola Run - the Punktastic Tom Tykwer take on cause and effect – it also explores fate, destiny and the consequences of a ripple in the space-time continuum.
