Hurry Slowly

An important man, always in a hurry, but especially when behind the wheel, runs over a strange pedestrian: a young globe-trotting, absent-minded young man who is treading firmly, but in the wrong place, on the wide road. After hesitating for a moment, the man behind the wheel turns back to the scene and can't find his victim. Out of nowhere, however, the victim appears in the man's life, upsetting an entire family with dramatic and comic-sentimental entanglements.

Directed by Geo Saizescu, Hurry Slowly leans on a strong ensemble — Dem Rădulescu, Tamara Buciuceanu-Botez, Cornel Vulpe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1981.
