No Distance Left To Run (1999)
If To The End is a song about the slow-death of a relationship, No Distance Left To Run is the post-mortem.
An emotion-wrenching deconstruction of Albarn's depression following his split with Frischmann, No Distance Left To Run is one of the most heart-felt break-up songs ever recorded.
So let's make a sentimental kitchen-sink drama out of it.
The Movie:
Colin Zeal is a retired long distance runner living out his final days in an old people’s home, reminiscing about his glory years.
But when he hears about a local fun run, he decides to take part, much against the wishes of his family and the care workers who look after him.
Will Colin win the race, or, more importantly, will he survive it?
The Cast:
Michael Caine as Colin, Gerard Butler as his angry son, with Judi Dench as the lone nurse who believes in him. Ken Loach directs.
Sample Dialogue:
During an argument with his son, who is ordering his father to not take part in the fun run, Colin calmly says:
Colin: “Please turn your back and walk away.”
Next: Bugman
