very expressionistic piece of horror, not for people with stomach problems. A bit radical,goes well into gore-land, very dark, hallucinogenic, camp, beautifully shot in black and white and color, and edited along a very disturbing soundtrack (painfully so). The Hit-man goes berserk, goes home, sees horrifying images in his brain and tries to get rid of them by nailing nails into his skull with a hammer. This is a beginning of a very surreal voyage into a demented psyche. Touching David Lynch with its dreamlike sequences, nightmares full of symbols, and a reality that's painted with love of silent cinema (German one , especially). This is quite bloody, sometimes in a very selfconscious, ironic way. Very interesting film from Russia.
