Kontroll

FROM THE LINER NOTES

The Budapest subway system, the world’s oldest, is a dark labyrinthine netherworld as vast and various as the city above. Hordes of people pass through on their way to better, brighter places.

But here are some who spend most of their lives underground- the ticket inspectors or “Controllers” who are assigned in teams to sections of the system and whose thankless job is to ensure that no passengers ride without paying… Deployed by those in control- they are a much-despised lot…who on his way wants to be stopped and asked for a receipt by petty officers that represent power at its most powerless.

Dark and funny, disturbing and offering no easy answers, with a powerful rock soundtrack, Kontroll is a rare suspense movie that will make you think. (Hungarian with English subtitles)
