Bullet in the Head

Tiro en la cabeza

A seemingly ordinary man who is consumed by random encounters and petty tasks ends up in a car with two other men, on a journey of no return. A meditation on the nature of violence, which gives a new definition of “observational cinema,” purposefully following an elliptical form to encourage the viewers to approach the object of observation at their discretion, filling in the gaps with their own interpretation of the events.
