MCFC Episode 89 - Kontroll

from Middle Class Film Class Hosted by Pete Abeyta

The gang rides the subway of the afterlife this week, as they review this fan pick from listener Michael, Kontroll (2003). In his debut feature length film, Nimrod Antal tells a story of a group of misfit enforcers that live and work in the underground subway system of an unnamed Hungarian city. Taking tickets and checking passes is just the beginning of a day's work for Bulcsu and his cohorts, who are also tasked to stop a rash of apparent suicide jumpers that have been hurling themselves in front of trains. Were they all accidents? Are they even part of the land of the living? Watch on Amazon Prime, then find out what we think!
