Traffic Control (2016) is this curious blend of modern life and old-world Belarusian folklore. The film's atmosphere is drenched in a sense of foreboding, with night-time desolation setting the stage for a bizarre encounter. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing tension to build as we watch the intoxicated driver interact with this talking fish, which reveals its secrets in a way that feels almost dreamlike. There’s some clever practical effects at play here, and while the performances might not be award-winning, they capture the absurdity of the situation. What stands out is how it challenges the viewer to consider the intersection of the mundane and the fantastical, making it a distinctive piece of cinema that lingers long after the credits roll.
