It even seems that Lola can return in time, and try to re-do everything again, but with a light difference, until it works. Which shows some huge flaws in the plot.

But it just a movie you'll really enjoy, and is a bit able to stick with you.

Actually the whole hype about this movie is cause the German cinema had been in some kind of depression since the Sound was introduced to cinema, and that was the movie that seemed to rise the German scene from the ashes.

I can see what you are saying but directors like Wim Wenders, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog were flying the flag for German cinema long before but I agree that the 80's were a lean time for Germany.
