This documentary charts the artistic collaboration between the avant-garde dance troupe Pilobolus and author Maurice Sendak as they prepare the Holocaust-themed performance "A Selection." It's the first time the dance company has collaborated with someone outside the troupe, which leads to some tension. The occasionally stormy creative process is portrayed along with interviews, rehearsals and archival footage depicting the historical events from which the group takes its inspiration.

2.5/4
Rehearsals are frequently more fascinating than the results. Last Dance, whatever its flaws, fulfills one facet of its mission in making me want to find out whether, in this case, that's true. Go to Full Review Clive Barnes New York Post 07/12/2002
