Diego is a film director very close to death, surrounded by people who are having trouble dealing with his current tempestuous mood. Chances are he won't survive, but if he does, that means he needs to relearn how to live.
"This is the latest film from Brazilian filmmaker Héctor Babenco (director of "The Kiss of the Spider Woman"), one of the most famous in his country internationally between the seventies and eighties, who died of cancer in 2016. “My Last Friend”, then, is semi-autobiographical and metafictional, in a line similar to the famous "8 ½" by Federico Fellini, since we have a filmmaker making a film about a filmmaker asking Death for more time (watch out for the reference to "The Seventh Seal" by Ingmar Bergman) to make his last movie. It is a tribute to life and an emotionally heartfelt goodbye letter, perhaps a bit sentimental, which the always great Willem Dafoe ("The Lighthouse") manages to inject with as much emotion as credibility."
