Kontroll

2003 · 107 min

A grimy, propulsive descent into a nocturnal underground world, equal parts deadpan comedy, dread and strange romance.

Tagline: There's no such thing as a free ride.
Overview: A subway enforcement officer working in the oppressively gray Budapest metro gets a chance at love — but first he needs to find out why passengers are jumping — or being pushed — to their deaths onto the tracks.
How it feels: Dark, tense, melancholic and absurd. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, obsession, identity, love
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
