Of all the films I've watched this year (not many), Last Days has lingered in the mind the most. It seems exactly the type of film I would make (earlier this summer, I filmed a short ten minute character study of a guy with writer's block, with no dialogue). As for individual scenes, I'd have to go with either the Yellow Pages visit, or the one in which Blake goes round the room playing all the instruments, as the camera, unflinching on its pane, tracks back.

An amazing film which is open-ended in almost every way; my first experience of Van Sant (after dubious caution and pre-viewing reservations as a result of the shot-for-shot Psycho remake), and I love his style. Playfully exploring the notions of time and space within the frame of the cinema, and stripping away our pre-conceptions of it. Not a film to be liked by all, but a must-see for those requesting an aesthetic challenge.

Thanks,
Mick
