Plot: It's the last day on Earth.
You don't know why and thanks to some very adept film making, it doesn't matter. What matters is the individual reactions to this ending. David Cronenberg has taken it upon himself to call all the people his company provided power to and thank them (his assistant sticking around as she has a crush on the married man). Sandra Oh, Cronenbergs wife, (Grey's Anatomy) is out shopping for their last meal when her car is overturned and she can't get back in time to see him. Callum Keith Rennie (Battlestar Galactica, Californication) is trying to fit in all the sexual experiences he's ever wanted...including his mate, Don Mckellar (Director) and his former french teacher.
This film, set in Toronto, Canada, has an almost empty feel to it, as if the director had managed to take all the ambient joy out of the film and replace it by only what the actors bring...and it works extremely well.
Not always a fun film, but continually enthrawlling.
Budget: $2,300,000 (Canadian)
Fun Fact: An early role for Dawn of the Dead actress Sarah Polley. The film was voted 9th best Canadian film of all time...and this on Don Mckellar's debut.
