Review of Kontroll (2003) by Petros T — 30 Dec 2016

"Kontroll" is a pleasantly wacky film. It is set underground (in the Budapest metro) and that makes it pretty special - and it's not just a gimmick. Nimród Antal makes excellent use of the subway system as well as the cast and delivers an exciting, varied little gem that meshes suspense, comedy, romance, mystery and drama very well.

The finale is just beautiful and reveals an unadorned allegorical take on the film's underground setting which strikes as very resonant.
