THE LAST MEAL

 

The Last Meal: Where the flavors of Haiti bridge a lifetime of silence.


After twenty years of silence, a dying Reynold asks his estranged daughter, Vanessa, to share his final meals. As she prepares the traditional Haitian dishes of his youth, the familiar flavors unlock painful, buried memories of his life and suffering under the Duvalier dictatorship.


Set against this backdrop of shared history, The Last Meal is a poignant tale of reconciliation, exploring the power of food, cultural memory, and confronting the past to heal fractured family bonds within the Haitian experience. A beautifully crafted film about legacy, healing, and the stories we carry in our bodies and kitchens.

Canada, 2024, 111 mins, Drama in English, Maryse Legagneur, dir. 

“In this film, humanity, dignity, and beauty stand in opposition to the worst atrocities.
— Manon Dumais, La Presse
