  Taste of Cherry 1997

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 13 Feb 2023 2

  For the first part of my film analysis series, I will be focusing on Kanye West’s masterpiece musical short film Runaway. Nine years later and nothing has changed. Runaway has proved to be a timeless piece of art on both the visual and musical spectrum. In only 34 minutes, Kanye West did something most filmmakers can’t do in 120. Runaway is broken up into nine parts paired with nine songs so…
