Bullet In the Head (2008 New York Film Festival)

Bullet in the Head Glorified experimental student films don’t get anymore cheesy than Jaime Rosales’ movie that leaves out all audio dialogue as a way of distancing the audience from a non-existent story. The conceit might have worked if he had written it as a silent movie and included subtitles, but watching a middle-aged Spanish man going through the surface motions of his mundane life before committing an inexplicably violent act, is just a bore. "Bullet In the Head" was the weakest of the 18 films I saw at the festival.

Not Rated. 85 mins. (F) (Zero Stars)
