Before What Comes After
In Le Dernier Souffle (Last Breath), veteran director Costa-Gavras confronts his own mortality in what is likely to be his last feature film, based on the book by palliative care doctor Claude Grange and writer Régis Debray.
It’s mostly a philosophical two-hander that explores life and death, with the doctor guiding the writer through his profound fears and anxieties.
“Very successfully mixes the conversations of a philosopher and a doctor specialized in palliative care, while telling the stories of the doctor’s patients.” ~Lucy Virgen, The Film Verdict
“At 91, Costa-Gavras creates a truly humanistic work that is timeless and immediately contemporary.” ~Arash Nahandian, Gazettely
