*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
I saw this fine drama on CBC television eight years ago. "Last Summer" is based on the short story "Unless the eye catch fire" by poet and artist P. K. Page who portrays the central character/narrator in "Last Summer."
The film is shot on location in Victoria, British Columbia. I consider this drama a gem of television production because with a running time of under an hour and with a very small cast, it is able to say a great deal about the human condition when faced with death and extinction.
I enjoy "end of the world" (eschatological) stories and films such as "On the Beach", "The Purple Cloud", "The Last Man on Earth", and many others. What makes this drama unique is the serenity, the zen-like calm that the author and producers have brought to a story that could have been spoiled by too much intensity or violence.
At several points, the story breaks to an auditorium where musicians play the background music and a childhood flashback is played. This does not detract from the story but heightens the poetic elements.
Altogether, it was fine drama and I hope that it may be re-broadcast in the future.
