Synopsis: Alan Gould (David Arnott) is an anthropologist specializing in a Brazilian tribe called the Shitabi, in this film that poses the question, "What would you do if you were the last man on earth?"... Alan Gould (David Arnott) is an anthropologist specializing in a Brazilian tribe called the Shitabi, in this film that poses the question, "What would you do if you were the last man on earth?" After every creature perishes (except flying insects and birds), Alan videos himself enacting various Shitabi rituals and social practices based on the Shitabi belief that human suffering is created by feelings of jealousy and competition. One day, the last woman on earth, Sarah, (Jeri Ryan, "Seven of Nine" on Star Trek Voyager), happens upon him as he smothers himself in mud and performs a crass ritual designed to alleviate guilt. They shack up and attempt domestic bliss when dimpled, crunchy Raphael (Dan Montgomery) shows up armed with a bandana. He's been camping and doesn't realize that the whole world's been blitzed. Problems arise when it's obvious that Sarah is willing to trade Alan, a gorilla clad in tightie-whiteys, for Raphael, a god, rippled and hemp-adorned. THE LAST MAN was made in tandem with another film starring Jeri Ryan called MEN CRY BULLETS. Director Harry Ralston and producer Tamara Hernandez decided to make two films with one budget to get double the return. [More]

Has its charming quirks and its dull spots.

What might have emerged as hilarious lunacy in the hands of Woody Allen or Mel Brooks (at least during their '70s heyday) comes across as lame and sophomoric in this debut indie feature.

Intended to be a comedy about relationships, this wretched work falls flat in just about every conceivable area.

It's the end of the world as metaphor for how we scuttle relationships, and it's a remarkably apt one.

Ralston has a clever conceit behind this low-budget effort.

Alan and his fellow survivors are idiosyncratic enough to lift the movie above its playwriting 101 premise.

If The Last Man were the last movie left on earth, there would be a toss-up between presiding over the end of cinema as we know it and another night of delightful hand shadows.
