The concept of "4:44 Last Day on Earth" is not new. Before 2012, there were a lot of topics like this, but even if she shoots the leftovers of others, Ferrara will have a strong personal style. Director Ferrara placed most of the scenes in the two protagonists' studios, which are almost closed spaces except for the balcony. People use different behaviors to show emotions of anxiety, fear, calmness, or numbness. The hero and heroine are indulged in art and sex, and everything looks normal and calm.
Under this calm, the director uses deliberately steady shots, long-term detail performance, and a slow narrative rhythm to push the audience and characters' psychology into a desperate situation. In the film, Ferrara expresses her attitude and response to "The Doomsday" with a single scene, two main characters and several selected messages delivered through multimedia. Although the concept goes to the extreme, the film language is much more restrained than his previous works. The lens is no longer full of irresponsible violence, and the black features are more reflected in emotions rather than naked in the picture, giving people more spiritual than visual despair stimulation.
"4:44 Last Day on Earth" is an attempt by Ferrara, and the way of expressing is obviously not as handy as his previous naked and unscrupulous dark style. Therefore, this dark fantasy artist only submitted a passing work this time
.
