Director Abel Ferrara is known for releasing films that are, if nothing else, extremely bold. His latest flick, 4:44 Last Day on Earth, showed recently in New York, and IFC sent over some cameras to grab the audience’s reaction. Dig it!

4:44 Last Day on Earth stars Willem Dafoe along with Paz de la Huerta, Shanyn Leigh, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Hipp, and Dierdra McDowell. Look for it in theaters and On Demand beginning today, March 23rd.

Synopsis
In a large apartment high above the city, lives our couple. They’re in love. She’s a painter, he’s a successful actor. Just a normal afternoon – except that this isn’t a normal afternoon, for them or anyone else. Because tomorrow, at 4:44 am, give or take a few seconds, the world will come to an end far more rapidly than even the worst doomsayer could have imagined. The final meltdown will come not without warnings, but with no means of escape. There will be no survivors. As always, there are those who, as their last cigarette is being lit and the blindfold tightened, will still hope against hope for some kind of reprieve. For a miracle. Not our two lovers. They – like the majority of the Earth’s population – have accepted their fate: The world is going to end.
