Runaway Horse

About This Movie

So, 'Runaway Horse' is interesting, you know? Kaufmann directs this mix of comedy and drama with a subtle touch. The setting at Lake Constance feels almost like a character itself—there’s a relaxed vibe that contrasts sharply with the tensions bubbling beneath the surface. Helmut and Sabine’s comfortable routine gets shaken up by Klaus and Helene, and it’s fascinating how these interactions explore themes of jealousy and nostalgia. The pacing is pretty deliberate, but it allows for moments of quiet reflection. The performances are natural and engaging. There's a kind of understated humor that sneaks up on you, which adds to its charm. It's definitely a film that asks you to sit with the characters and their complexities.
