"Kontroll"
2004
Directed by Nimrod Antal

The milieu of Nimrod Antal's stylish debut is the strange subterranean labyrinth of the Budapest subway system, the second-oldest in the world. Sandor Csanyi stars as the leader of a group of beleaguered ticket inspectors, assigned to patrol sections of the tracks. Deployed by higher powers, the petty bureaucrats experience abuse and humiliation as they attempt to regulate a train system populated by harmless patrons and hooded madmen alike. "A thoroughly satisfying, rambunctious entertainment that also subtly works on philosophical and spiritual levels" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times). Nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film (2004). Hungarian with English subtitles.  106 minutes.
