The loneliness of the man.

Warning: Spoilers
"The Last Woman" is a pessimistic drama from Marco Ferreri,which openly criticizes feminism as the main source of loneliness among men.Gerard Depardieu plays an engineer who is married to Gabrielle.When his wife leaves him for feminist reasons he is left with custody of their nine-month old son.The relationship between Gerard and his son's daycare worker Valerie begins.After seeing how self absorbed and one dimensional Gerard is Valerie threatens to leave him.Gerard responds by cutting off his penis with an electric carving knife."The Last Woman" is a shocking and sexually graphic movie.The world in which we live in is the world in which we are all mere particles,colliding randomly but never connecting.In a perfectly liberal sexual system some people have a varied and exciting erotic life,others are reduced to masturbation and solitude.8 out of 10.
