THE LASTE BREATH

In a warm and passionate exchange, Dr. Augustin Masset and writer Fabrice Toussaint face two profound realities—one grapples with the final moments of his patients, the other with his own approaching mortality. Swept into a whirlwind of visits and encounters, they embark on a deeply moving journey, where laughter and tears intertwine. It’s a human adventure that touches the very core of our shared existence. 

Translated into English from Avis du Public & Presse : Le Dernier Souffle | film 2025 | Costa-Gavras – Cinenews.be 

• “…this film even more impressive, because it is honestly moving; not sentimental but realistically sensitive. The audience can relate to some of the cases and then ask themselves the same questions: how would I like to die? And since I can’t choose the when, then where?”
  Last Breath – The Film Verdict  

• Last Breath is a devastating viewing, but also a film infused with hope. The final denouement is both shocking and heartwarming. This is therapeutic cinema at its finest.
