Nothing Lasts Forever

About This Movie

Nothing Lasts Forever is this quirky little gem that doesn’t fit neatly into any box. It has a loose, almost dreamlike pacing that captures the whimsy of its premise. The film navigates through the absurdity of an artist’s life spiraling into bureaucratic chaos as he finds himself directing traffic in the Holland Tunnel – talk about a mundane backdrop for a surreal experience! The chemistry between the leads is palpable, especially as they embark on that whimsical journey to the moon in a Lunar Cruiser. Not to mention, the practical effects, though dated, carry a certain charm and playfulness that enrich the fantasy elements. The tone swings between light-hearted comedy and deeper reflections on love and ambition, which is what makes it stand out from typical 80s fare.
