Diane Kruger = misleading credits


She had like a 5 seconds cameo towards the end of the film. Why is she the first one credited in the cast list?

The existence of life is a highly overrated phenomenon

Ha, it's so true! And I didn't even recognise her as the jogger.

Small, independent movies like to get cameos to help the box office.

Some stars like to give their name to a small film because they agree with its message or to help a producer or other friend or colleague that helped them in the past. Their being named as a cameo may have been what it took to get the final financing to get the movie made.

It was the best part of the movie "Don't touch me!" and then her running off into the woods is the part I've always imagined her playing

Great film.

As an American and ignorant about most of the casts here (not Willem Dafoe and Fred Ward, though!), I wondered who the hot German wife to the French diplomat was, and wondered if that was Diane Kruger.

Instead it of course was Alexandra Maria Lara. Who is she? Is she not well known enough to get higher billing than someone on the screen for like five seconds?

I appreciate a good cameo as much as anyone, but I thought this scene, had at best, only some weird sort of comic relief.🐭
