The best culture in modern literature grew rapidly during World War II and the Korean War. THE LAST TIME I COMMITTED SUICIDE is a film based on the short life of Nick Cassidy, who until his tragic death in 1968, was an outsider of popular literature. After a tumultuous life of abuse by his alcoholic father, Nick Cassidy froze to death at the age of 42. The film focuses on Nick Cassidy’s last romantic interlude with his lover Joan. His debaucherous life of alcoholism and .womanizing started when Joan attempted suicide. But luckily, Joan’s suicide attempt was unsuccessful and Nick and Joan became reunited, hoping for a better life together. But with a twist in their fate, they once again have to part and Nicks endless wandering begins. The director, Steven Kay confirms the return of the best generation in the year 1990 through the tragic life of Nick Cassidy. Using various cinematic techniques and applying a narration of a narcissistic hero, The LAST TIME I COMMITTED SUICIDE will indeed create a rare experience for viewers.
