CGiii Comment
Vartanov is a director who needs guidance, discipline and a crash course in editing.
The first 70 minutes rambles - unnecessary scenes mixed with arty indulgence does absolutely nothing for the sparse narrative.
With black and white, it's not difficult to make things look good...obviously an over-riding concern for the one in charge - and, wholly, at the expense of structure and substance.
How many times does a white-haired boy need to be covered in black and white blood? Overdone to the point of predictability.
With some vicious and unsympathetic editing, there could have been something worthwhile...instead, the viewer is presented with a tedious example of preposterous pomposity.

The(ir) Blurb...
Bullet Collector follows the traumas of a wide-eyed 14-year-old boy. Recalling the world of Antoine Doinel in Francois Truffaut's The 400 Blows, this unsettling, visually brilliant drama updates that classic by giving it a nightmarishly Russian spin.
