Last Call (2020)

Directed by Steven Bernstein

Overview

Last Call is a fictional account of the final days of exuberant and notorious Welsh poet Dylan Thomas as he sets out on a final poetry tour of New York.  Desperate for money and with a wife and three children dependent on him, Thomas accepts a job believing it is beneath him.  He spends his time in the city drinking at the White Horse Tavern and becoming increasingly ill between poetry readings.  Everything comes to a head when he goes on a bender so extreme he cannot perform the last lecture, makes a scene at the bar, and has his final drink while ruminating on life, death, and the concept of love.
