THE LAST GENERATION is this beatific, weird, storybook of a short film...and when I say "film", I mean FILM... As in gritty 16 mm black and white reversal stock, which I haven't seen for quite a long time. Legend has it, that this was a thesis film... and a very ambitious one at that. Apparently it was so ambitious that it has taken the filmmakers 20 years to finish. The cinematography is very reminiscent of Jarmusch, and the original jazz score is beautiful and haunting at times. Overall, I would say that this is a very interesting film, and it's nice to see Ana Ortiz (UGLY BETTY) in her college days.
