Review

In Ferrara’s latest, the end of the world has come, and Dafoe and Leigh play a couple who spend it in their own, mundane ways�making love, making art, arguing, ranting at the world. Intriguing concept contrasting different modes of being in a seemingly extreme, but strangely subdued, situation, yet it doesn’t hold: Dafoe’s monologues feel like Theater 101, and the whole thing moves along in fits and starts toward nothing particularly resonant.
