Zlatko Milojičić is a visual effects expert with extensive experience in the film industry. He has participated in numerous domestic and international film projects. His work in visual effects can be seen in well-known films and TV series such as Yellowstone, Babylon Berlin, The Walking Dead, Phantom Thread, and others.
The Bomber is a film that explores the boundary between childhood innocence and brutal reality. Though the war is over, it leaves traces that echo through generations, often manifesting in unexpected ways. For me, this is a story about curiosity turning into danger, a world where children, unaware of the risks, transform dangerous objects into toys.
The experimental narrative plays a crucial role in shaping the viewer's experience. Instead of a traditional visual narrative, The Bomber relies on fragmented and suggestive visual elements to convey the fragility of memory. Through unconventional editing and scenes where reality and memory become indistinguishable, I aim to create a sense of iconic imagery within the world of recollection.
This experimental approach allows the audience to emotionally and intuitively connect with the main character's inner world of memories and imagination. The Bomber is not just a film about danger; it is about the fragility of life and the unpredictable consequences of childhood play. The experimental style offers a deeper exploration of the subject, inviting the audience not only to observe the story, but also to truly experience the world of memory.
