           'With LA DERNIÈRE VOIX, Fonfrède and Hussain do not only show proof of
           irrefutable talent, but also open the doors to the subconscious to allow
           a world transcended by the magic of imagination….
           Faithful to their thematic preoccupations, the image has
           been sculpted to the point of conjuring up an aura of mystery.'
           SÉQUENCES MAGAZINE (Canada)
           'Ambitieux, le film de SF, LA DERNIÈRE VOIX …
           Influencé par (le final de) BLADE RUNNER - belle photo,
et ambiance pluvieuse soutenue par une bo trip hop - ,
           le film se déroule dans un monde post-apocalyptique
           où la parole est sur le point de disparaître et où les gens
communiquent en se gravant des messages sur le corps.'
           DVDRAMA, le premier quotidien du DVD (France)
           'In LA DERNIÈRE VOIX, the world is on the verge of extinction :
           the rain is ceaseless, all the windows have disappeared
           -and disease has spread, silencing humanity.
           This is an astonishingly lurid film about decay
           and the need to find a new way to communicate.'
           TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (Canada)
            'Un court-métrage étonnant, dépeignant une ville sous la pluie,
           oú la communication orale a disparue. Sérieux, beau et sentimental…'
           VOIR MAGAZINE (Canada)
           'LA DERNIÈRE VOIX is more proof that Quebec is a different country.
           It's a vision of a creepy, unexplained apocalypse,
           told in haunting tableaux and widly poetic, whispered voice-over.
           OK, this film might not exist without Tarkovsky's SOLARIS, but so what?
           … Miss it at your peril. This one's a winner…'
           NOW MAGAZINE (Canada)
           '…A standout, LA DERNIÈRE VOIX is written and directed
           by Montreal bad boys Julien Fonfrède and Karim Hussain.
           Narrated by Pascal Montpetit, this is a surreal fable
           that is full of astonishing imagery and novel ideas…'
           MIRROR MAGAZINE (Canada)
           'A real surprise. Former shock-jocks Julien Fonfrède and Karim Hussain
           have assembled a thoughtful, even contemplative 12 minute film
           about a disease that is gradually robbing all the inhabitants
           of a rain-invaded city of the power of speech.
           Full of terrible beauty, haunting sounds and worrying ideas, this drowned
           apocalyptic vision is hard to shake. J.G. Ballard would approve.'
           THE GAZETTE (Canada)
            'Fantasy is not necessarily a word you associate with
           our chez nous cinema, but Julien Fonfrède and Karim Hussain's
           LA DERNIÈRE VOIX is a work of rich, albeit morbid, imagination…
           An impressive visual poem about love and the end of the world…' 
           HOUR MAGAZINE (Canada)
           'Forty days and nights of rain destroyed the world;
           but what was it like as the rain fell? LA DERNIÈRE VOIX, water erodes
           much more than the material world of this mythic city,
           affecting language, communication, and identity as well.
           Surreal images and an ambient musical score make this film
           unforgettable in both its execution and its message.'
           HAWAII INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (USA)
           'LA DERNIÈRE VOIX is a film with an impressive art direction
           directed by Montreal up and coming genre directors
           Julien Fonfrède and Karim Hussain.'
           TAKE ONE, FILM AND TELEVISION IN CANADA (Canada)
           'Full of dark anguish, Julien Fonfrède and Karim Hussain's
           LA DERNIÈRE VOIX is truly original and
           a groundbreaking cinematic experience…'
