REVIEWS
"If Nossiter deals with the neglect of men
towards their nourishing planet - the subject at the center of his
film - he declares in 'Last Words' his love of cinema. At the
screening of the many films in the film, one viewer exclaims that
the characters on the screen are 'more alive than themselves'.
Magnificent metaphor of the 7th art, which seems to echo the 'bigger
than life' which often qualifies cinema today, like a slogan."
...Jacky Bornet, French film critic
"The Greek temples which populate the backgrounds testify less to
the greatness of an ancient civilization than to its simple
disappearance. To come face to face with them means to contemplate
what will never come back - and it is this look at death that lies
at the heart of 'Last Words'". ...French film critic
Adrien Mitterrand
"'Last Words' points
none-too-subtly to what becomes of society when culture, education
and health care are neglected: Africa is submerged, the Red Sea is
spreading, fertility — human and soil — is kaput. Today’s humans
should be familiar with all the film clips incorporated but the
director laments that film culture is going the way of AGRIculture (Nossiter,
in resistance mode, runs an organic farm in Italy). Consumer culture
won’t nourish a single person come the Apocalypse, he warns, but the
sacred act of storytelling might." ...Lisa Nesselson,
Screen Daily
"Although it shot with a modest
budget, the movie boasts a high production value, notably thanks to
the cinematography and filming locations, from the Moroccan desert
to Southern Italy and Bologna." ...Elsa
