Last Night
LAST NIGHT - directed by Don McKellar (1998)
"Last Night" has long been a favorite film of mine.
Tammy and I watched it again last night—loved it so much that I wanted to share it with those who may not have seen it.
Yes, apropos of dystopian times, it is set on the last night of planet earth - but it's focus is a deeper look at human relationships and coping strategies.
[In this Canadian drama by Don McKellar, various citizens of Toronto anxiously await the end of the world, which is occurring, for reasons unexplained, at midnight. While widower Patrick Wheeler (McKellar) braces for his fate, he meets Sandra (Sandra Oh), the wife of a businessman, who is intent on committing suicide. Meanwhile, Patrick's friend Craig Zwiller (Callum Keith Rennie), embracing a hedonistic approach to the apocalypse, decides to have as much sex as he can while there is still time.]
For those who imagine that scenario based on seeing films made in the USofA I add that this is a Canadian film—set and filmed in Toronto—and so, considering the theme, the violence is quite minimal—and the subtlety of character beautiful.

The resolution isn't great, but anyone who has watched films on VHS will have no problems. Perhaps you can find it streaming elsewhere.
