What, you may ask, is the connexion between the recent Luc Besson film
"The
Fifth Element" and Kate Bush...

It so happens that the female lead in the film, Milia Jovovich (who
plays,

other connections:

tricky, the trip-hop auteur and former massive attack auteur who claims
kate as a huge influence, plays one of the villian's henchmen.

director Luc Besson used Venus as a Boy, a rather Kate-like ballad by
Bjork, yet another singer influenced by Kate, in his earlier film, the
Professional.
