Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with FRANKA POTENTE!

Yeah yeah, the actress Franka Potente. The Bourne Movies, Blow and of course the 'Citizen Kane of music videos', Run Lola Run. This video is taken from that movie, or more accurately filmed in addition to the movie. Franka was dating the film's director Tom Tykwer, he cast her in the role of Lola quite intentionally and felt it would propel her to stardom. Tykwer also refused to allow anyone else to create a soundtrack for a movie he'd also written so he wrote one of his own. The whole techno heart thumping soundtrack which, Johnny would argue, is one of cinema's best ever.

Did ya know then, Run Lola Run was spoofed on the Simpsons with Lisa playing Lola.

Here is Franka Potene with 'Believe'
