The Last Movie grabs the audience and slowly pulls it in through its juxtapositions, its movie within a documentary within a movie, within, within, within layers of characters that are cast in light and shade and are brilliantly played off of the other to highlight what lurks in the psychological shadows until it is pulled to the surface and exposed to the light of day.
This ambitious movie is like nothing I have ever seen before. It artistically explores the confines which we painstakingly live within while we also, hopefully with precision, push the boundaries to reach toward our passion. For Nastya Dmitriey (played by Nataliya Alexayenko) who lives in the old world of black and white and in the confines of a stale marriage, passion is a traditional physical seduction which she finds in the arms of Pavel Volynski (played by Robert Gulassarian). For Elizabeth Seitz (played by Elizabeth Gondek), who gets cast to play Nastya, passion is being accepted as an actress in a leading role and seduction is falling under the direction of movie director, Nick Crawley (played by Bruce Pittman), who is documenting the remake of a Russian film noir. However, when passion no longer resides in the distant and the precision of balance is not met, you never know what will rise out of the dark but in this case it results in the last movie.
