Murland), Marcel Muntaner (Samuel) ; con la colaboración especial de Francesca Neri (Asja). 520 "'The Last Frontier' portrays the crossing of the Pyrenées by the German philsopher of Jewish origin, Walter Benjamin (Berlin 1892-Portbou 1940), from Banyuls-sur-mer to Portbou where he committed suicide in 1940, following the news that he was to be repatriated. The hours of the slow, painful crossing on foot of the Pyrenean mountains which separate France from Spain, accompanied by other German fugitives who were escaping from the Nazis, leads into a series of flashbacks which place some of the biographical aspects and thoughts of the philosopher. The film plays with video and cinema images, with the concept of representation and simulation, with fiction and document. An interview with Jean Selz, a French art critic who met Walter Benjamin in Ibiza during the 1930s, and the voice of the photographer Gisèle Freund, bear witness to their friendship with the philosopher. The figure of a narrator links document and fiction playing the role of investigator into Benjamin's life and work."--Kronos Plays & Films S.A. promotional brochure. 538 VHS. 541 0 PFA 0500-01-6587.
