Things start rather bleak in that trailer but as you can see, Kal begins to learn about how pictures, and in particular motion pictures, can capture history and preserve history. What happens from there, well, that’s why you pay to see the movie. But this trailer really looks like a blend of post-apocalyptic drama with a very unique story about the appreciation, and preservation, of film. And, if you step back from that, it also feels like the kind of movie that would explain why movies can be so important. They’re not just entertainment, they’re not just art, they’re forever snapshots of our wildest dreams and harshest realities.
Plus, I mean, come on. You can’t go wrong with multiple Oscar and Emmy nominees like Nolte, Skarsgård and Rampling. They’re some of our best actors but happen to be at that age where maybe they don’t get as many opportunities as some others. So it’s pretty excellent to see them in anything, let alone something cool and unique like Last Words.
Last Words will be released in theaters and on demand on December 17. What do you think of the trailer? Will you be seeking this one out?
