The Last Movie (1971, 1:48 min)

After a film shoot in Peru is shut down when an actor is killed, the unit wrangler decides to give up film-making and stay. But his dreams of a simple life are cut short when the local priest asks him to help: the villagers are killing one another by re-enacting scenes from the film because they don’t understand that a film’s violence is not real.
