Tells the true story of Johann Rettenberger, a marathon athlete who developed robbing banks as a hobby.
End result? A thriller that deliberately doesn’t thrill.
For those who prefer a bit of existential vagueness to being led by the nose, this is a thought-provoking as well as a technically impressive piece of work.
The Robber will leave you sweating, breathless yet naturally fulfilled; the one important factor that’s so frequently dismissed.
Less interested in exploiting thrills than it is in exploring the existential loneliness of the long distance runner.
