Nimród Antal's debut is a fantastic piece of film. I had grown weary of watching films and this film reinvigorated my interest. Taking place in the Budapest subways, this film follows a group of ticket inspectors headed by the mopey Bulcsú (Sándor Csányi). The group patrol the dank subway fighting with patrons and grumbling about their awful stations in life. Bulcsú has given up on life and literally lives in the tunnels below ground. His quiet misery is disturbed by two people, Szofi (Eszter Balla), the meek daughter of a drunken train conductor who meanders into the subway always dressed up like a pink bear and a mysterious hooded figure who is pushing patrons in front of the trains. A gang of fighting misfits, a girl in a pink bear suit and a hooded murderer? It may sound like yet another quirky independent flick with goofy characters and clever camera work...well, okay it is just that but its a very inventive quirky independent flick with goofy characters and clever camera work.

This is a very exciting debut and shows that Nimród Antal has clear and abundant talent. Too bad his sophomore effort, Vacancy, is little more than torture porn. Ignore his unfortunately misstep and search this one out. If you have a taste for something different, this is a great pick.
