Running

About This Movie

Running is a quirky little comedy that dives into the absurdity of life through Massoud's perpetual sprint. It’s almost like a humorous existential crisis, where each failed attempt at something meaningful adds a layer of charm and pathos. While the pacing can feel a bit erratic at times, it fits the theme of chasing after dreams that lead nowhere. The performances, especially from the lead, are engaging – there's a rawness to the way they portray frustration and eventual discovery. The practical effects are minimal but used effectively to emphasize Massoud's relentless pursuit. Overall, it’s a distinctive take on the classic 'finding your purpose' theme, wrapped in a light-hearted package.

Running has had a limited release, making it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. The film is available primarily on indie labels, and its scarcity adds to its allure. As more collectors seek out unique narratives that stand apart from mainstream offerings, this film could gain more attention over time, especially with its unconventional storytelling and character-driven moments.
