A three-minute fever dream about the delusion required to run a marathon, told entirely in absurdist slapstick. Youji Kuri doesn't bother explaining the gag, he just shows you a runner's brain in real time, and it's comedically honest about what those people are actually thinking. The punchline isn't the finish line. It's that runners are weird and they know it.
Youji Kuri made this brief comedy film centered on runners. As the title indicates, marathon runners are its subject, and the film plays them for laughs instead of treating them as serious sports drama. The result is a short, humor-driven piece that sets a sports theme in a comic register.
