Abstract
Tom Tykwer’s Lola rennt and Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain can be considered modern fairy tales in which we see the emancipation of modern ‘heroines’ from a pseudo rational capitalist society. Such emancipation is possible mainly because of their emotional leitmotifs but also due to their overall superior cognitive behaviour. All this can be analysed combining cultural and gender perspectives within which well-known studies on a ‘kapitalistischer Geist’ (Weber) and post-feminist theory (Kaplan) are discussed as possible sub-texts of both films.
