Last Night
Selected by special guest curator Edgar Wright (in person, schedule permitting).

Oh, Y2K.
Quaint as it may seem now, pre-millennial panic loomed like a specter for years—with the doomsday clock ticking down to both the Rapture and technological breakdown, not to mention the greatest Prince party ever. Don McKellar’s Last Night may have sprung from Y2K insanity, but it remains timeless, a sweetly nonchalant apocalypse in miniature.
Leave it to the Canadians to best capture the aw-shucks benign resignation of late ‘90s angst—with six hours left until some unidentified cataclysm, the radio counts down the best songs of all time, a gas-utility exec (David Cronenberg) makes thank-you calls and a family politely goes through the motions of their last meal. Instead of cowering or rising up against their doomsday, McKellar's touching myriad of hapless citizens just sort of carry on. With a doozy of a finale, rivaling “Giulietta Massina smiling into the camera in Nights of Cabiria, or the seaside sunset in Eric Rohmer's The Green Ray.”
