Spring Quarter Central European Film 1968-present: Kontroll

Directed by Nimród Antal, Hungary, 2003. „Kontroll“ takes place entirely in the dystopic universe of the Budapest subway system, as we follow the trials of Bulcsu and his band of brother ticket inspectors. A fascinating blend of styles and genres: “A Clockwork Orange” meets “Brazil” meets “Scream” and course Luc Besson's 1985 “Subway.” Along the way we learn a lot about how the citizens of Budapest traveling without subway tickets resist fines and arrest, and abuse these beleaguered figures of minor authority.
