As if it was the last one

About This Movie

So, 'As if it was the last one' really digs deep into the impact of violence in community spaces. Directed by Magali Zerillo, it opens with this chilling line—'Start the car, I killed him!'—and that sets the tone. It builds an atmosphere of tension and loss as it contrasts vibrant life with the heavy absence of Franco Castro López, a 16-year-old whose story is hauntingly told. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to reflect on each location—a basketball court, family table—life-filled yet eerily empty. The documentary aspect feels raw and real, capturing the essence of a community grappling with grief. There's a distinct lack of dramatization—just the stark reality of what they’ve lost.

Explores themes of grief and community memory.Unique blend of crime and documentary styles.Requires a reflective mindset during viewing.
