Speeding, of Course

About This Movie

Speeding, of Course is a curious blend of animation and documentary, directed by Anni Sairio. The film follows 70-year-old Timo and his unorthodox commute. It’s not just about a bicycle ride; it’s about the rush, the thrill of fleeting moments. The animation captures Timo’s wild, almost reckless spirit, contrasting with the stillness of his surroundings. It's poignant how he finds joy in the chaos, even after ending up in a ditch. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing viewers to feel that mix of tension and release. It’s a study on aging and finding pleasure in unexpected places, a theme that resonates deeply. The practical effects used lend authenticity, making the surreal moments feel grounded.
