Last Days

Director Gus Van Sant
Genres Drama
Run time 97 mins Certificate 15

14th January 2006

What was Gus Van Sant thinking when he made this awful film? I know. He woke one morning and thought I'll make a film based on the last days of Nirvana's front man... Ah but how am I going to make it last over an hour and a half. I know... I'll fill it with painfully long takes of nothing. Including an eight minute slow zoom out shot of a window where the lead protagonist is playing the guitar. To add to that I will use non sensicle non diajectic noise. Take a tip from me Van Sant, watch 'Once upon a time in the West' if you want to learn about sound techniques. Luckily spatial time can just be followed as we see it getting dark. A terrible film, terrible direction. Monosolubic dialouge and dire cinematography/ sound make this one of the worst films I have seen in a long time.
