4:44 Last Day On Earth (2011)

Description

Tomorrow at 4:44 AM the world is going to come to an end. As panic hits the Earth’s population, tow lovers (Willem Dafoe, Antichrist, The Life Aquatic, and Shanym Leigh, Public Enemies) seclude themselves in a Manhattan high-rise and decide to spend their last moments in existence together. Accepting their doomed fate, the pair discovers more about themselves and each other in a few short hours than most do in an entire lifetime. Acclaimed director Abel Ferrara (Bad Lieutenant, Kind of New York) creates a uniquely suspenseful romance with 4:44: LAST DAY ON EARTH, an intimately scaled view of the destruction of the world, with an emphasis on how it all feels to a Bohemian couple live on Mr. Ferrara’s beloved Lower East Side of Manhattan. – A.O. Scott, The New York Times
