After their parents die in a car accident, teenagers Bianca and Tomas are left to survive on their own. Soon after, Tomas’s friends persuade Bianca to seduce Maciste, a reclusive former Mr. Universe, in order to rob him.
"Il futuro", surprisingly enough the first filming of a novel by Roberto Bolaño, is as much about the past as it is about the future. This is primarily expressed in the figure of Maciste (a beautiful role by Rutger Hauer, with a nod to a famous role from his own past). Unexpressed emotions that are also tangible and an almost matter-of-fact magic realism, a soundtrack that tears and then is light, the play of light and darkness – these paradoxes in Scherson’s third feature are very cleverly forged into a whole. – Rotterdam FF
