Subways as another world

We are going to go away from the US for this month's movie, Kontroll (Hungary, 2003) a movie that creates its own world out of the fictional lives of ticket inspectors in the Budapest subway. The main character lives in the subway, and within the movie it is the world above ground that seems to be fictional. This is an accomplishment because the Budapest metro is not that big.

Someone should make a movie about the Paris metro as its own world. You could actually live there.


The movie is not available for streaming anywhere (legally), but the DVD is available for rent from Netflix.

Happy New Year!
