Isabella O @RT21173418 Dec 22, 2024 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more dave s @RT68722908 Aug 8, 2021 Kontroll is a slick and stylish film set in the subterranean world of Budapest's subway system, following the exploits of ticket inspectors as they grind their way through thankless day after thankless day. Despite featuring some witty dialogue, nice visuals and interesting encounters, things seem to get a bit repetitive as the beleaguered inspectors encounter increasingly combative members of the public. Basically, it's an episodic exercise where some of the episodes work while others become tiresome, like the scene in the psychiatrist's office. It's an admirable attempt at something different that only partially succeeds.

A posse of ticket inspectors are charged with ensuring every passenger has a permit. Why are they stuck down there? Why do they all look so ill? And who is the strange hooded figure who seems to signify death? It's a measure of the confidence and skill here that none of this seems pretentious and so much of it is funny.

The whole thing revolves around such a mundane concept - the ticket checking - and there is no reason for any of the characters to be this invested over something no one considers important! Oh, and how is this a dark comedy? Nothing funny happens at all! See more Petros T @PetrosTserpelis Dec 30, 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. See more Jul 19, 2016 surreal,thrill-ride and fun.
