The Last Island

The Last Island

Directed by Marleen Gorris • 1990 • Netherlands
Starring Paul Freeman, Shelagh McLeod, Patricia Hayes

After they survive a plane crash, five men, two women, and a dog find that they may in fact be the only survivors of a worldwide disaster. Stranded on a deserted island, the question arises: can the human race survive, or will mankind destroy itself? This speculative drama—the last installment in Marleen Gorris’s thought-provoking trilogy about the links between gender and violence—puts a bold feminist spin on the postapocalyptic survival genre.
