07/13/2015 Almost lost to obscurity, this experimental film represents the bleak landscape of the mind of its main character, who the film presents as the last man on Earth. His only company is an ever-increasing number of imaginary friends that exist only in his mind. The film's concept is highly original, and is very immersive for those who are patient. The first half of the film is quite lively, with Noah's first imaginary friend providing a humorous atmosphere, and his girlfriend adds even more of a human element to the film's narrative. In the second half, however, he banishes his imaginary couple, and replaces them with a whole civilization of imaginary voices, echoing the ghosts of history. While the second half may have been the most important part of the film, it's also very muddled. Various audio clips, both newly recorded and from history, are played together in such a way that it seems like there is no context except the implication that it all comes from Noah's mind. This, combined with the slow pace, make this film difficult to understand at first. However, when the film ends, the gravity of it sinks in. The film seems like an artistic one-man show, and despite the slow pace, it works quite well, although it should be noted that the film's strongest trait is its sense of atmosphere. The second half may be a bit muddled, but the atmosphere it creates is quite strong, and it's not without direction. The film as a whole is very interesting, and despite its flaws, it's a very engaging experience that proves that you can do more with less. See more 01/23/2015 Alright, kinda creepy. Interesting look into a man slowly loosing his mind. Kinda slow, and I can see a lot of people not liking it. I could also see lots of people liking it if that makes sense. Hit or miss here.

The best of post-apocalyptic films, but if you are looking for zombies, action and special effects, stay away from it. For a film student or a devotee of intelligent films, it is a must-see.
