Last Night
At the turn of the century, the end of the world is known to be coming to an end. This modest comedy-drama examines how the impending doom affects its cast. McKellar plays an architect who plans to meet the end alone at dinner. Others make a suicide pact, but are caught apart and struggle to get together before the end. Another man (Callum Keith Rennie) pursues final sexual conquests and a milquetoast woman (Tracy Wright) strives to gain courage. Of course, the group ends up interacting.

Universal assigned their star horror movie director James Whale and a first-rate cast, headed by Robert Young, Constance Cummings and Edward Arnold, to this offbeat comedy thriller, in which a group of socialites wake up with hangovers after a party, to find that one of their number was murdered during their carousals. A witty, sophisticated and suspenseful puzzler, the film combines, and cleverly parodies, a number of styles and genres to fascinating (if occasionally confusing) effect. Modern audiences might well appreciate the joke rather more than those of 1935 did.

Genial comedy of the death of the world, which ends not with an apocalypse but a few hapless, genteel gestures of regret.

fun and chaos.great
the end of the world is on its way. everyone knows it too. i loved this film when i watched it. the beauty of the scripting. it makes a potentially bad disaster film really good, as the disaster isn't featured. instead the script follows various groups and individuals around for the last few hours of life. its sometimes brutal and sometimes humble and sad. such a good film. i recommend this film to anayone whos into foreign and arthouse, also disaster and drama films. its great
