4:44 Last Day on Earth

"4:44 Last Day on Earth" (2012) — watch online on iFILM. Abel Ferrara shot this quiet apocalypse in a Manhattan penthouse with Willem Dafoe and Shanyn Leigh.

The whole world knows: at 4:44 PM tomorrow, it's over. No explosions, no escape plans. Just two people trying to figure out what to do with their last hours together. They argue, make love, scroll through Skype calls with strangers on the other side of the planet.

Ferrara made this on almost no money, almost in real time. It's not really a sci-fi film — it's a mood piece about waiting. Stream "4:44 Last Day on Earth" online on iFILM.
