I love Franka!


Just an appreciation post. Saw her in a new trailer for Between Worlds with Nic Cage. Looks like she has a pretty big part. Boy do I adore her.

She's a interesting actress, Run Lola Run and The Bourne Identity are probably going to be the roles she's always remembered for. Plus she's never got the meaty roles like her former partner Tom Tykwer gave her. Probably from the late 90's and early 00's was her peak as biggish actress. She's been a very hit and miss actress in terms of her choosing her projects, a lot of the work she followed Run Lola Run with were B-Movies or horrors.

The Bourne Identity & Supremacy, Blow, Storytelling, Run Lola Run and The Princess and The Warrior. I liked her in Romulus, My Father and Eichmann both from 2007. I remember she was in a film from 1999 with Daniel Bruhl called Schlaraffenland that's worth checking out. Also a film called Atomised from 2006, which is well worth checking out but not to everyone's tastes to be fair.

We have to remember Franka was only 24 when Run Lola Run was released, still pretty young for someone to get the success she did. People forget how big that film was when it came out, it was probably the biggest Foreign cinema release that year and probably of the 90's. It's a iconic role that would be tough to surpass for any actress. She's done well to still be working actress today.
