World premiere
Supermarket
The supermarket closes its doors, the hordes of buyers leave the place step by step and the shiny and colourful corridors remain quiet and alone, with no one to seduce. No one? A man is hiding out, appearing when everyone is gone, making this flashy landscape his kingdom. He enjoys the products on offer, samples various flavours and makes himself at home, but…gradually begins to suspect he is being watched.
Montenegrin director Nemanja Bečanović gave us a darkly comic film, presenting his very personal Monsieur Hulot, lost in the supermarket, with a wide range of adventures within the bright, garish and tacky walls of the consumerism heaven.
What’s it like to live in a supermarket by yourself and find out you are not alone? Hold your breath...
