“Last Moment Of Clarity” (**1/2 out of four) was a fervent but feverish melodrama about a man (Zach Avery) lost in the world and a drifter after witnessing the murder of his wife three years ago until one day he runs into a woman (Carly Chaikin) at a Paris cinema who is a dead-ringer for his wife and through her is eventually able to uncover the truth about her death and the undoing of his own life. Directors Colin and James Krisel work in a hypnotic and trance-like style that is often intoxicating and draws you in but the story is a muddle and characters remain frustratingly aloof. A film you can admire without fully enjoying. Haunting film score by Krisel is a major asset and makes this worth watching.
