"The Princess & The Warrior" (2000)- Directed by Tom Tykwer
Tykwer of "Run Lola Run"(1998) fame spins a tale of two lonely souls who meet literally by "accident". Bodo, a former army medic turned petty thief is running from would be captors. In the process he causes an accident in which asylum nurse Sissi is hit by and trapped under a truck unable to breathe.
Bodo manages to save her life while also escaping his captors. Sissi begins to believe that Bodo is her soul mate. Bodo rejects her and an odd form of stalking begins.
"The Princess & The Warrior" is a more European paced film than the quick ticking "Run Lola Run". Americans have to learn a bit of patience and let the story unfold. Not to say that Tykwer's action sequences aren't still furious and hair raising. The chase leading up to the accident is cinema mastery.
Best Scene: Sissi is trapped under the truck. It's freaky and not for the squeamish.
