Artur is a cold-blooded, cynical, exceptionally successful debt collector. He doesn't lurk in dark alleys waiting for his victims; he systematically harasses them over the phone until they eventually pay up. In addition to the hefty income that ranks him among Moscow's elite, he's also earned a reputation that has made him a few enemies. Then one evening he himself becomes the victim: a compromising video in which he appears goes viral and he has just a few hours to prove his innocence. Focusing on the fickleness of fame and favor, the movie employs an extremely compact and powerful form to reveal the sad truth about the self-centered tendencies of contemporary society.

I didn't enjoy this at all. An hour-long conversation where nothing interesting or exciting happens. Boring as fuck. 40%.

I guess dialogue-based movies take a lot of skill. For instance, the French seem to have been born for those. Nevertheless, this small-scale Russian film is not too shaby, either. You see, The Collector is quite an interesting piece that turns the collector into a victim. And with the times being what they are, you are quite happy about the situation that he got himself into and you wait for how it’s going to unravel. It eventually unravels into something you would only imagine happening in a French drama and it hits the spot. I was satisfied and even though the lead actor’s portrayal of his character took some getting used to, in the end I have to say that it’s probably the first dialogue-based film from Russia I have ever seen and I applaud it.
