Last Night (2010)

Drama, Romance

Last Night is a romantic drama about a young married couple in New York who face temptation on the same night. While Michael (Worthington) finds himself alone on a business trip with an attractive new colleague (Mendes), Joanna (Knightley) encounters the other great love of her life (Canet). Over just 36 hours, each spouse is confronted with choices neither expected having to make.

The film was developed as a romance and suspense story before Tadjedin recognized its moral significance. After persuading Knightley to break a year-long acting hiatus to participate in the film, Tadjedin cast the other roles with consideration for the actors’ chemistry. Mendes originally turned down the role of Laura but agreed to appear in the film after a conversation with Tadjedin. Scenes were filmed in SoHo, Manhattan, between 2008 and 2009 with Peter Deming as the director of photography. The soundtrack was composed by Clint Mansell, who received a World Soundtrack Award for Soundtrack Composer of the Year for his work.
