A man sits in his rundown apartment and watches a movie. After he has eaten his fill, he leaves. Through a seemingly never-ending corridor, past houses which are reminiscent of war photography. He boards a train. Keeps on straying by foot through a dark, dystopian world. Does he even have a destination? Eventually, he meets a woman. The eponymous Bright Future is nowhere to be seen, but maybe something like love? Marko Zunic’ nonverbal poesy is strictly committed to a surrealistic tradition. Some things remind of the films of Dsiga Wetov, in between, there are references to David Lynch. The cinematographic pull, which these experimental monochrome pictures develop, is astonishing.
