The year was 1998 and, amidst all the drama of the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal, the world was also surprisingly gripped by a little experimental thriller film out of Germany after it premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
Run Lola Run, a high-octane story about a young woman racing to obtain 100,000 Deutschmarks to save her boyfriend from being killed by the mob boss he works for, was a runaway hit in the summer of 1998, thanks to its riveting, fast-paced story, catchy techno soundtrack, and a breakout performance by star Franka Potente.

The neon-haired hottie was already familiar to German film fans, but the award-winning Run Lola Run made her a skinternational sensation who’d go on to star in another blockbuster action thriller, The Bourne Identity.
More than twenty-five years later, Run Lola Run is headed back to the theaters for a limited time, and we at Skin Central are getting prepped for its release in our favorite way - with a skin-depth look at Franka’s fantastic nude scenes, starting with her sexy topless swim in 1995’s Nach Fünf im Urwald. She’d go on to have nine nude roles in total, the last being a bedroom nag sesh with Eric Bana in 2007’s Romulus, My Father.
