Usually the only people dressed as angels in a subway are men.
Theatrical Release Date: 11/20/2003 (Hungary), 04/22/2005 (USA)
Director: Nimród Antal
Cast: Sándor Csányi
I may decide to elaborate further someday but here is the short version.
The film (Hungarian, subtitled in English) set in the Subway system of Budapest is actually a metaphor for the inner workings of the brain, where all the players and events are symbolic of one thing or another. It was a little slower than I would have liked it, but by the end once you have started to figure out what symbolizes what, it ends up being very interesting.
If they could have kept a better pace, this would have made it up one more notch on the rating scale. That 6 pack of Old Style would be mighty refreshing on the Budapest mass transit system. A 3 out of 5 for “Kontroll”.
