The Last Movie is a 1971 film directed by Dennis Hopper, who also stars in the lead role. The film follows a Hollywood movie crew as they finish a production in a small town in Peru. Once the filming is over, the crew leaves and all the props and equipment are left behind. The only American to stay is Kansas, a horse wrangler played by Hopper.
As Kansas stays behind, he begins to witness the impact of filmmaking on the local people. They have taken the film crew's equipment and props and have begun to create their own movies. Kansas becomes involved in these productions and starts to form relationships with the locals.
However, as the lines between reality and filmmaking become blurred, the locals become increasingly violent and superstitious. Kansas is caught in the middle of their beliefs and finds himself in dangerous situations.
The Last Movie received mixed reviews upon its release but has since gained a cult following as a unique and experimental film. It explores themes of cultural imperialism, the power of cinema, and the blurred lines between reality and fiction.
