In Last Exit, the bleak, worker’s noir, 1945 Club Paradise film, released the same year Nagasaki/ Hiroshima was bombed and Hitler died, is re-mixed with poetry dialogue to become a romantic vacation advertisement that comments on propaganda.
From Club Paradise: vacation culture, consciousness, capitalism, and the marketing of holiday. The vacation migration is compared to early nomadic tribes led by their shaman on the tracks of game. But now, the game pursued is a state of mind advanced by corporate interests to produce a workers' consciousness tolerant of capitalist slavery. Filmed, photographed on Cape Cod.
