Brilliant film, subpar DVD, but finally in widescreen,
By
This review is from: Last Night (DVD)
I love this film and if you've found this page, chances are you do too. This DVD finally presents the film in widescreen, but not in anamorphic, as the box incorrectly states. Also, there are no bonus features. Not even a trailer. Sad. This fantastic Canadian film deserves much better treatment. Still, at least you can finally see the film without having the sides chopped off like the previous Canadian DVD and the two American DVDs. Incidentally, be sure you buy this edition -- ASIN# B0002XGJSW, release date Septermber 21, 2004. It is easy to get confused because ithe new DVD has the exact same cover as the old full screen version, a really stupid move by Alliance Atlantis.

This review is from: Last Night (DVD)
It's a good film, the context is a little odd : everything's going to end at midnight, everyone knows it, and there's no escaping it. How would we meet it?The acting is fine, the script and presentation are all good. There's a low-budget feel to it, still, some technical aspect... maybe McKellar used old recording equipment or something... that seemed inconsistent with the rest of the elements of the film. Whatever the case, it is still a "Canadian" movie worth watching. 1.78:1 aspect ratio, stereo sound.

One of my favourite films,
This review is from: Last Night (DVD)
This came out after a string of Hollywood movies such as Independence Day, where the earth is threatened (by aliens, or a giant asteroid, etc.) and an American hero saves everybody. This film was a great contrast, in that it focuses on what people would do if there is no hero to save them. It takes place in Toronto, and follows various intertwined stories of people and how they choose to spend their last 6 hours. They all have known for months exactly when the end will be. How it is being destroyed is never mentioned, and is irrelevent to the plot, which is more about the characters and their decisions. It is a very human film, as you see a variety of responses to the coming end - some get more violent, some seek hedonism, some want to be close to their loved ones. Yes, it is by nature a bit dark but I didn't find it a "downer" of a film, I thought in the end that it's message what touching.
