Run (1989)

Nội dung

Jonathan Demme wrote that “Robert Frank’s very short film Run, set to New Order’s tune of the same name, remains one of the most gratifying tastes of cinema ever. It’s a deep, rich and exhilarating emotional journey somehow compressed into the time it takes for New Order’s engaging pop song to play out.” Frank shot on Hi8 for the LA concert sequences and 35mm for the street scenes in Williamsburg, where Mabou Mines actor David Warrilow performs a pantomime date while a young girl (the daughter of Frank’s Brazilian percussionist friend Tony Noguera) twirls and drums behind him. Frank’s still photographs of the band also appear on a lamppost. — Museum of Modern Art
