Run

About This Movie

So, Run is this really unique short film by Robert Frank, and it’s like a wild little ride. Set to New Order’s pulsating track, it kind of feels like a music video, but it’s more than that. The visuals are raw and gritty, capturing this emotional current that’s really something else. You get these snippets of life that are both intimate and a bit chaotic, almost like you’re peering into someone’s soul for a brief moment. The pacing is tight, which works perfectly with the song, making it a quick but intense experience. It’s definitely not something you see every day in cinema, and that’s what makes it stand out.

Run is somewhat of a rarity in the collector world, given its short runtime and lesser-known status compared to other films from the era. Most copies you’ll find are in VHS format, which adds a certain charm but also raises questions about preservation and condition. Interest seems to ebb and flow, but it does draw in collectors who appreciate its experimental nature and the collaboration with New Order. If you’re into edgy shorts that pack a punch, this one’s worth seeking out.
