So many movies ... so little time ...
On this day in 2020 (in the great nation state of Germany), audiences of the Berlin International Film Festival were treated to the very first theatrical exhibition of Last And First Men.
The film was directed by Jóhann Jóhannsson who also wrote the screenplay along with Olay Stapledon and José Enrique Macián. The feature's only acting talent was its narrator, actress Tilda Swinton.
For those curious, I have seen this film: back in 2023, I was provided a complimentary Blu-ray of it from a distributor in exchange for review coverage on SciFiHistory.Net. Interested readers can find my thoughts on it right here. Frankly, I don't recall being all that enamored with the project -- it smacked of an experimental feature and little else -- but to each his own, as they say.
Here's the plot summary as provided by IMDB.com:
"Two billion years ahead of us, a future race of humans finds itself on the verge of extinction. Almost all that is left in the world are lone and surreal monuments, beaming their message into the wilderness."
As always, thanks for reading ... thanks for sharing ... thanks for being a fan ... and live long and prosper!
