THE LAST MEAL
Dir. Maryse Legagneur | Canada/Haiti | Narrative | 2024 | 111 mins
Chicago Premiere
Screening in collaboration with DuSable Heritage Association. Followed by a Q&A with renowned Haitian-Canadian actor Mireille Metellus
After twenty years of silence, a dying Reynold asks his estranged daughter, Vanessa, to share his final meals. As she prepares the traditional Haitian dishes of his youth, the familiar flavors unlock painful, buried memories of his life and suffering under the Duvalier dictatorship.
Set against this backdrop of shared history, The Last Meal is a poignant tale of reconciliation, exploring the power of food, cultural memory, and confronting the past to heal fractured family bonds within the Haitian experience.
A beautifully crafted film about legacy, healing, and the stories we carry in our bodies and kitchens. Runner-up for the 2025 ADIFF NYC Public Award for Best Film Directed by a Woman of Color.
