The ultimate impression is that of a theoretical atemporal relationship existing between these locations separated by thousands of miles, that the discourses on love, war, and collective consciousness throughout the film pertain not to where exactly each individual scene or angle is shot but to a grander, seemingly cosmic notion of global human connection, an idea aided by the film’s unique approach to performance and characterization.
I recommend the film wholeheartedly to lovers of weirdo cinema, for people who don’t expect films to follow a strict format, and for those who love the art of writing for film. The screenplay by Emigholz is a behemoth that somehow doesn’t crash, although it seems like it could at any given moment.
The settings are often striking as The Last City never lets you forget you’re dabbling in the avant garde, so it’s got that going for it.
