La historia de la película El argumenti Elegante es en su simpleza, centrándose en un Equipo de Cinco "controladores" del metro de Budapest, cuya lab consiste en comprobar que los pasajeros los billetes apropiados tenge. Estos controladores no disfrutan the public's respect, and therefore are constantly tense or frustrating situations. And to make matters worse, their bosses are concerned about the high number of suicides that have occurred recently in the metro, but Bulcsú (Sándor Csányi), a smart driver with a mysterious past, suspects may not be actually suicides, but crimes a mysterious figure who pushes passengers on the road ...

While the synopsis may sound like a depressing drama about the lower classes of Hungarian society, actually, "Kontroll" has many elements of comedy, mystery and dreamlike tone reminiscent in some times the work of David Lynch, but with a much more biting humor and enthusiastic. In fact, if one were to make comparisons, we would say that "Kontroll" is similar in tone and style with "After Hours" by Martin Scorsese. The argument is completely different, but both evoke particular mental state that confusion and lucidity combined in equal proportions, showing the world in ways both mundane and complex, with an ethereal hue that can quickly change between pleasant dream and nightmare. But ultimately, the best of "Kontroll" is the portrait of a subculture that, being isolated from society "normal" begins to transform the special situation, adapting to the circumstances and creating situations and customs that may be foreign to the rest of the population, but that somehow works in his particular universe. "Kontroll" is a film of many levels, and while we laugh with his quirky characters and thrill us with its action scenes (like a tight race at the railroad tracks), we can also ponder the possible interpretations that may have the film, made entirely in the Budapest underground. And as participants for a moment that cold, dark world, perhaps we can appreciate more our daily existence, or at least understand the reasons of those who repudiate. From a technical standpoint, the film is outstanding. Perhaps it may seem a victim of its limited resources, but in reality the film and the severe cold locations add an air of realism that contrasts and highlights the surreal tone of the film, which is accentuated with advancing the plot, so that when it the end we're not sure if we're seeing the "reality", or a dream of the protagonist, or simply a beautiful visual metaphor that the director has chosen to end the story of a sad but hopeful. "Kontroll" is a rare and exhilarating film experience confidently walking on that fine line between human drama and morbid comedy, succeeding in both fields, but without committing none. The work of the actors is brilliant and the direction of Nimrod Antal is firm and full of energy. Especially recommended for audiences, such as this CineClub Imaginary , tired of the hackneyed formulas of contemporary cinema.
