The Last Cruise

About This Movie

The Last Cruise offers a raw, personal glimpse into a surreal moment in history. Shot with footage from the Diamond Princess passengers and crew, it's less a polished documentary and more a collection of real human experiences as COVID-19 unfurled. The tone is unsettling, capturing both the mundane routines of cruise life and the creeping anxiety as the situation escalates. The pacing shifts, sometimes slow and introspective, other times jarring as the reality sets in. It’s striking how everyday scenes turn into something much darker. The practical effects? Well, it’s all real people, real emotions. You really feel the weight of isolation and uncertainty. There's something compelling about this firsthand perspective, it's a time capsule of chaos.
