The Last One for the Road Review
On a superficial level, Francesco Sossai‘s “Last One for the Road” is about a boozy car trip with small-time criminals who are old and broke, sometimes pensive, but mostly still living for the moment. They are in an oxymoronic perpetual search for another “last” drink, life as a perpetual bar crawl. But beneath that is an existential story that is a less bleak and more scenic version of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, a psychological journey about connection, regret, memory, and meaning.
