CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group are co-representing North American rights on the title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tInspired by Virginia Woolf\u2019s Mrs. Dalloway, The Last Day unfolds over the course of a single summer day in New York, tracing a fleeting encounter between two mothers at moments of private reckoning. Vikander plays Julia, a writer grappling with creative paralysis, unresolved grief and the onset of her daughter\u2019s adolescence. An unexpected encounter with Taylor (Pedretti), a labor and delivery nurse navigating a postpartum crisis, unsettles Julia\u2019s hard-won equilibrium and forces her to reconsider the life she has constructed. Moura, currently nominated for an Oscar, co-stars. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tRose, whose work has been exhibited at institutions including LACMA, Tate Modern and the Whitney Museum of American Art, makes her feature debut with the project. A veteran of the Venice Biennale and Carnegie International, and a recipient of the Frieze Artist Award, Rose has built a reputation in the art world for formally rigorous, conceptually layered work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cBecoming a mother felt to me like a collision between a beginning and a threat, and I knew I needed to write from the existential tension of that contradiction,\u201d Rose said in a statement. \u201cIn Mrs. Dalloway, I was struck by how Virginia Woolf reveals Clarissa\u2019s self-erasure not through overt drama, but through the texture of a single, ordinary day \u2014 errands, chance encounters \u2014 until something immense has shifted inside her. That structure became my guide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe film is produced by Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler, whose Killer Films banner has shepherded a slate of recent arthouse standouts, including Past Lives, Materialists and May December. David Kaplan, Lucie Elwes and Rose also produce, with Maja Hoffmann and Lucas Hoffmann executive producing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tBehind the camera, Rose\u2019s team includes cinematographer Eric Yue (I Saw the TV Glow, A Thousand and One), editor Taylor Levy (Bodies Bodies Bodies, A Different Man), costume designer April Napier (Lady Bird, May December) and Emmy-winning music supervisor Susan Jacobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tWestEnd has boarded the film under its WeLove label, which focuses on female-driven stories and championing female talent. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WestEnd Films is launching international sales in Berlin on The Last Day, the feature directorial debut of acclaimed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[191587,191588,49,48,75,77,337],"class_list":{"0":"post-470700","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-berlin-2026","9":"tag-berlin-international-film-festival","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-international","14":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
