BIEGACZE (RUNNERS)
Recommended. 3 people: a mother of 3 just 5 weeks after last birthgiving, a corporation employee and a guy with a damaged knee cap. All of them take part in a megamarathon: 240 kilometres in a hilly terrain. They really do - it's a documentary. Which of them will triumph? What each of them puts her/himself through defies belief. Great techno music to the rhythm of runners' steps. And the basic question: what for? Other vital issues pop up along the way: Is each life valuable out of 7 bn people on Earth? How to live when you've had alcoholic parents? The film tackles running at from all angles: physical, lifestyle, impact on work and relationships, competition, motivations. And leads the viewer from the preparations to the finish line. I don't run any marathons, hate the ones blocking traffic in the whole city but this film is about a selection of truly tough individuals.
