Reviews

The Last Eve at the Film Threat the 10 Best Unseen Films of 2005
Phil Hall of Film Threat, reviewing it "this can be described as the world’s first avant-garde theological martial arts love story. Taking the story of Western civilization’s first eviction recipients and spinning it across a bizarre variety of unlikely landscapes, the immensely gifted filmmaker Young Man Kang has brought forth a production which is so astonishing and original than it is impossible to compare it to anything that has ever been made."

This film released on DVD on August 26, 2008 by Vanguard Cinema
