Last Days

Gus Van Sant ("Elephant") continues to approach his signature lazy form of minimalist cinema, that involves him leaving the camera running in front of long wobbly plot sequences that are meant to add up to a meaningful "meditation" on the life of a Curt Cobain-type of reclusive musician (Michael Pitt). Boring, self-indulgent and punctuated by Van Sant's trademark homosexual kissing scene, "Last Days" will make you wish that this were Van Sant's last movie.

Rated R, 97 mins. (D-) (One Star)
