The Last Step poster

Released in 2012, The Last Step is a notable film directed by Ali Mosaffa, running about 88 minutes.

What it’s about. Actress Leila bursts into laughter on camera during the filming of a dramatic scene. Her improper behavior is a reaction to the recent death of her husband Koshrow, who accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. And it is Koshrow who serves as the film’s somewhat unreliable narrator, appearing in the movie even after his death. The couple’s complicated yet loving relationship unfolds as a delicately ironic detective story inside the elusive and, at the same time, obsessively arranged space- time of memory. Nevertheless, it reveals Koshrow’s secret life crisis and delves deep into the past, to an ancient house in the mountains.

Who’s in it. The Last Step stars Leila Hatami as Leila, Ali Mosaffa as Koshrow, Alireza Aghakhani and Hamed Behdad.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.6/10, The Last Step has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
