Short Film: Last Man (2022)

Synopsis

A man walks alone through the countryside. There’s been some kind of apocalypse. He wanders through an abandoned water park and then goes into one of the buildings and sees someone. The man from inside is shocked to see him and offers him food. The man from outside says, “you don’t need to concern yourself with that.” Why can’t we see the outside man’s face? Was the man in the house really the last man on Earth? Why is he still alive?

Commentary

Some people have their whole identity wrapped up in their jobs, and it’s tough when a job ends. What do you do with your life then?

It’s really well done. The soundtrack is weirdly inappropriate, and is perfect here. The acting is fine, the cinematography is good, and it’s well paced, not stretched out, but there’s enough there to make a story.

Nice!
