Stunning portrayal of subterranean Budapest

This movie is visually-stunning. The light from everday life streaming down the subway escalators is unforgettable, as are the chase scenes. The whole movie can be interpreted as symbolic escape from communism and Hungary's quest for self-determination and identity, with lots of contempt for authoritative interrogation and an emphasis on murky existential subterranean wanderings. Lots of symbolism, like the serial killer and the angel, and superb acting. A gift to the international cinema scene. |
