FREE ON YOUTUBE Kontroll


Today we have a not only crazy but also very stylish indie film from Hungary on our "Corona Home Cinema". By the way, one of the most rented films is in our video store. 

FREE ON YOUTUBE First of all; today I linked the stream from Kontroll on youtube (30.3.2020). With English subtitles in good quality. These YouTube links are deleted again and again - and a short time later the movie reappears under a new link. If the link no longer works, just enter the movie title on YouTube: Kontroll. Nimrod Antal staged his debut film in the stations and shafts of the Budapest subway. Anyone who has ever been to Budapest knows how deep the shafts lie underground. It is an experience in itself to descend by escalator! Antal was only allowed to film during times when there were no trains - and that's what control is all about! Here you can feel how the film team used the limited time to produce this nightmarish comedy! While watching the film, I feel how much fun it must have been! Bulcsu (Sandor Csany) used to be an architect, but couldn't stand the pressure to perform anymore. He withdrew into the parallel world of the Budapest subway, hasn't seen daylight for a long time (he also sleeps downstairs) and now works as a controller. There, fare dodgers who mock him and rival colleagues who challenge him to a murderous competition. Finally, he meets a girl driving a black car in a pink bear costume and falls in love. Her name is Szofi (Eszter Balla) and her father "uncle" Bela (Lajos Kovacs) lives underground like Bulcsu. Szofi asks Bulcsu for a date in a cafe, but he can't manage to climb up into the sun. Instead, he offers her a cup from the vending machine. But the world below is terrified by a serial killer who pushes passengers in front of trains... Control is the debut of Nimrod Antal, who designs a Kafkaesque labyrinth that works on its own rules. Not much is logical, not even within the given rules of this surreal world. Therefore everything in Antal's film pushes forward! When we opened the video store ten years ago, Kontroll was one of the first "Kiez-Blockbusters". Everybody wanted to see the film, the DVD was always on loan! -
