Last Night is a 2010 drama romance film. The film is written and directed by Massy Tadjedin.
Plot Summary: The story follows a married couple, apart for a night while the husband takes a business trip with a colleague to whom he's attracted. While he's resisting temptation, his wife encounters her past love.
In the director's mind, this scene expresses two kinds of infidelity, body and soul, to which men and women are both inclined; suggesting that men are more often physically unfaithful yet still deeply in love with their wives, while women are stronger in resisting bodily temptations, although they cannot control their heart.
Last Night is ultimately a film about choices - the choice you make to be with someone, to give yourself physically and emotionally, and how to survive all three.
In my opinion this film can be categorized as the best movies to rent or at least good enough, in representing the real life and the real feeling of human beings undergoing the real problems of everyday life.
Last Night is one example of those which is successful to do it: bringing the real problem of a married couple and the real feeling burdened them at the bottom of their heart that offer a love film that touch humanity.
The narrative is so twisted that the audience should not leave the theater before it ends. They shouldn’t even make any decision in middle of watching the movie. Life is not really about right or wrong, do it is with a movie. When we’re dealing with the “real” feeling, more often than not we will be questioning ourselves over and over again. The good thing about making a movie about the “real” life is that it does not follow the usual pop-culture narrative, but to make the audience believe that the story played on screen is the one that everyone may face up.
