Alois Nebel

Inspired by classic film noir and rendered in mesmerizing black-and-white rotoscope animation (a la Richard Linklater's Waking Life), this dark-hearted Czech drama traces the haunted memories and mysterious visions of a troubled train dispatcher through the shifting cultural and political landscape in the waning days of the Cold War. Preferring timetables to people, Alois Nebel leads a quiet life at a remote railway station on the Czech-Slovak border - disrupted only by the fog that brings hallucinations of trains from the past 100 years. Ghosts from Central Europe's dark past - Nazi occupation, transportation of Jews, communists' revenge on the Germans - ultimately send him on a nightmarish and ominous journey. Alois Nebel is based on Jaroslav Rudis and Jaromir 99's comic book trilogy that was the first modern graphic novel published in the Czech Republic.
