Right place at the wrong time or wrong place at the right time?, 27 February 2001

The film has an unusual format in that it presents three versions of a
twenty-minute episode. But unlike Kurosawa's RASHOMON these are not
different perspectives of the same incident by different eyes. Instead it
offers 'It could have been this way, but for…. or if only…' scenarios. The
film thus attempts to define what people loosely refer to as the luck
factor. Luck, the film tries to say is being at the right place at the right
time or even the wrong place at the wrong time. Or it could be the right
place at the wrong time, or is it the wrong place at the right time. It is
this clever scripting around the space-time permutation, that makes this
film such a delight to watch. The scenario, in which the young lovers emerge
triumphant and richer, makes out a strong case for being proactive and for
taking risk. It is also amusing to see how wrong conclusions can be drawn
from partial information. But the film offers more than an interesting case
study for management students. Cinema buffs would notice that time
compression, which is so common in film idiom is not resorted to…. the
action is nearly in true time. The quicksilver editing and the pulsating
background score embellish Lola's running and make sure that the repetitions
do not get jarring. The film is an unalloyed delight to the mind and the
senses.
