and Netflix has almost everything that was made before 1970. Their catalogue is simply amazing.

Last night I watched a bizarre Hungarian thriller Kontroll on instant view. It takes place entirely within the Budapest subway system, where someone is pushing people onto the tracks. The crew of ticket takers, a bunch of misfits, is assigned to find the killer. It's a strange ride, with lots of questions never answered, but it epitomizes why I like foreign films: stories I've never seen before, glimpses of life in another country, a willingness to take artistic risks, and the lack of any compulsion to tie things into a neat and cheerful happy ending.
