What's left behind the scenes

  • Tom Tykwer was annoyed by the blank wall, and he asked production designer Alexander Mannes to paint a portrait of actress Kim Novak as she appeared in Hitchcock's 'Vertigo'. But, unfortunately, Alexander couldn't remember what Kim looked like, so Tykwer suggested portraying her from the back. The painting was completed in 15 minutes.
  • Franke Potente had to refrain from washing her hair for seven weeks. This was because the red dye in her hair was too sensitive to water.
  • The two phrases at the very beginning of the film ('The ball is round' and 'The game lasts 90 minutes') actually belong to the legendary German football coach Sepp Herberger.
  • The woman from whom Manny borrows the phone card is actually the mother of Moritz Bleibtroj – Monika Bleibtroj.
  • When Lola plays roulette, the number 20 comes up. In fact, the film crew had no intention of rigging the outcome, but 20 came up during one of the first attempts.
  • The film opens with the voice of narrator Hans Peter Tschiedel. He is the most popular storyteller in Germany. Every German who listened to fairy tale records as a child recognizes his unique voice.
  • The glass clocks in the bank were smashed by a small pebble fired from an air rifle.
  • It took five whole weeks to convince the management of the Berlin supermarket to allow them to film a robbery scene inside.
