“Your memory follows me, as constant as my shadow…” Enigma Releasing has unveiled a trailer for a WWI survival thriller titled The Last Front, made by filmmaker Julien Hayet-Kerknawi. This World War I film is set in Belgium and was shot on location in Belgium in 2022, though all the performances are in English. Amidst the war’s chaos, a grieving father turns hero, leading villagers to safety while evading the relentless enemy driven by vengeance. Set in a small Belgian village at the start of WWI in 1914. With its compelling portrayal of familial bonds, love amidst chaos, and the indomitable human spirit, The Last Front promises to immerse audiences in a gripping tale of survival, love, and the enduring impact of war on both individuals & communities. Starring an international cast including Iain Glen, Sasha Luss, Joe Anderson, James Downie, Emma Dupont, David Calder, and Julian Kostov. This looks an intense, a story about a man fighting back to defend his town. Usually these are WWII stories, this is during The Great War. Take a look.
