What would film history look like if the timeline was determined by the more or less random movies celebrities and cultural figures watched before (and sometimes while) they died?
From Franz Kafka (“The Kid”) to Kurt Cobain (“The Piano”), Schtinter leads us down a rabbit hole where one bizarre and gallows-humorous coincidence leads to another, until patterns emerge across time and place. The depth and detail of his historical research is carried to its conclusion by Jeremy Irons, who narrates the film clips that illustrate Schtinter’s collage work. “Last Movies” is sharp, witty, deeply original and radically unpredictable. – CPH:DOX
