A Weird Acidic Cult Film
23 June 2011
A weird acidic cult film outta the mid-90's, Dan Zukovic's "THE LAST BIG THING" is definitely the kind of indie film they aren't making anymore. Genuinely subversive and anti-mainstream, the film is a thorough bludgeoning of LA Pop Culture, a few years before the reality TV deluge hit in the 2000's (also coming several years before "Fight Club", and some of the other defining 90's indies). There is a nice turn by a youngish looking Mark Ruffalo, and some nice slightly surreal LA and outskirts cinematography by M. David Mullen, who went on to do "Northfork".

Saw this originally on the Movie Channel, and again recently on Amazon Instant Video Streaming. "THE LAST BIG THING" bears a repeat viewing well - a memorable low budget find with a punk rock edge to it.
