The Runners is a film that will make you laugh, smile and choke back the tears as its interviewees spill their thoughts on life and their personal experiences so far. Whether it’s the bold admissions of suffering through clinical depression, confessions of parental dementia or the unabashed revelations of a couples agreement to improve their sex life.
Covering a wide range of subjects in their on-the-run interviews, Rochlitz & Gormley’s film manages to take you through a myriad of emotions in its 11-minute duration. Whilst describing The Runners as a film about running is factually true, in reality it’s a description that does a huge injustice to the film and its makers. “I’m really sorry Andrew, for confiding in total strangers about our sex life.” Quizzing the joggers on a range of personal topics, from sex to religion and marriage to mental health, The Runners takes us on an unpredictable journey through the human mind. Born from the idea that people might be more open if they were asked questions while running, Matan Rochlitz & Ivo Gormley’s documentary The Runners provides an insightful glimpse into everyday life by catching their subjects at a time when their inhibitions are at their most relaxed.
