Robber (Der Rauber) Review

Robber is a thought provoking existential thriller that centers on a runner running to keep himself alive. Through the eyes of someone treading onward, we’re given a look into the living interiors and exteriors of a man in modern Austria, struggling with his own existence outside of running and his inability to have a normal relationship with anyone. Despite being a quiet film told through character emotions, neutral toned environments and expressions, you’re left feeling connected to the main character even though his obsession with running has ruined practically everything in his life. Overall, Robber is an excellent film from start to finish with a believable romantic relationship left broken from life choices, and an exhilarating marathon ending that will leave you pondering your own existence and reasons for living.
