The Collector Part 2

The Collector is an ongoing portrait of Christian, a lifetime collector who has "worked" the streets of his local town in Provence for the last 30 years. Every night, from midnight till dawn he makes a careful circuit of the town's dustbins and picks up things he considers useful. These are added to his ever-burgeoning collection which now fills the three plots of land he inherited from his grandparents.

The second part of the film revisits Christian after 3 years to find him adapting to new restrictions imposed by his nemesis, the town's mayor.

The film was made with the photographer Leonie Purchas.

hes really hoarding because he has nobody, so these objects keep him company, as he feels attachment.. :P

The town should put an end to this man's hoarding, his place is a fire trap and must be full of rats and cockroaches. He seems to be quite proud of what he has hordered.
