Review of Last Love (2014) by James L — 09 Jun 2014

"Last Love" is a slow-paced drama about life and death which, unlike most others that run on similar theme, does not go into psychological stuff. Rather, the drama explores how Matthew (played by Michael Caine) fixes his relationship with his two children after the death of his wife (who appears in form of flashback shadows). Along the way, he is guided by the help of his newfound friend Pauline (Clémence Poésy). Nothing inappropriate happens between Matthew and Pauline, as their bond is strictly one that can be found between a father and a daughter.

The fact that the drama is based in 6th arrondissement of Paris, plus soundtrack from the likes of Norah Jones make it suitable for a pre-bedtime watch.
