Czechoslovakia, 1982. The totalitarian regime seems invincible. Antonin, a member of the secret police, is full of unfocused rage and everything around him - his work and family life - wears him down and bores him. He becomes fixated on Klara, a girl he has no hope of winning. There is no love in it or any other kind of genuine passion - only a burning desire to fulfill the fantasy of escaping from the cage of his boring and meaningless life. Antonin’s senseless struggle to have Klara for himself not only turns him against the enemies of the regime but also against his own people and the system itself. Full of scenes with dark lighting, [Walking Too Fast] is a film that walks upon the fine line of political thriller and film noir. (Jay JEON)
