More Detail:
In THE LAST TIME I COMMITTED SUICIDE, Neal Cassady (Thomas Kane) meanders aimlessly in 1940’s Denver from his girlfriend to his dead-end job to leaving town in an artistically poignant, but morally empty movie. The reason this movie was made is that it depicts a man made famous by his characterization as Dean Moriarty by writer Jack Kerouac in his 1955 novel ON THE ROAD. Artistically appealing, with artful and witty dialogue and low-light cinematography, THE LAST TIME I COMMITTED SUICIDE tells the story of a few weeks in the chaotic life of a charming, selfish rebellious young man with no respect for authority, few moral values and an affinity for an utterly carefree existence. In Neal Cassady’s existential reality, life happens to him, and he avoids responsibility and commitment as much as possible. Throughout the whole movie, both he and his barroom friend, Harry, run from situation to situation without ever deriving a higher meaning to their lives.
