Collection of Stones
May. 21,2024
Inspired by the contemporary writer, Shamshad Abdullaev’s poem, “On The Side of the Stones”, Ushakov’s Collection of Stones is at once a cinematic experiment in pace and duration, while also a fixed-frame meditation observing one man’s sublime gentleness as he walks around a city with a box picking up select small rocks like they’re good luck charms, lunches alongside a public basketball court, rests in a park, and sits at a bus stop examining the newly gathered stones.

Great Film overall
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
