In the year 2041, anyone who has an unnatural death has the right to be brought back to life, provided they’ve dutifully created a backup of their personality called a “restore point.”
But, as the Czech director recalls, he found himself going through notes for film ideas from screenwriter Tomislav Cecka and one of them began to loom large. What’s more, he says, “There were so many moral questions and conflicts, and society pushes you to take sides. It was a great joy to discover all those facets and make the characters to go through a journey where they are forced to question their choices.”
Hloz admits feeling a bit intimidated by the long history of Czech sci-fi films and popular culture, dating from Karel Capek’s invention of the word “robot” in the 1920s to influential space adventures like 1963’s “Ikarie XB 1,” which foreshadowed “Star Trek.” Shot on several locations where existing brutalist architecture could be incorporated, “Restore Point” was able to embrace “iconic visuals of a futuristic Central Europe,” Hloz says.
