The Last Romantic Trailer (2008)

The trailer for IFC's The Last Romantic which can be seen on IFC Festival Direct. Fancying himself a poet, young Calvin Wizzig moves to New York with aspirations of making his mark on the world. Unfortunately, the world is not particularly keen on having marks made on it, a disheartening truth made brutally clear to Calvin through an eclectic series of encounters with equally self absorbed eccentrics. Running parallel to the disillusionment of Calvin's naive idea of being published is the fantasy that he will find the girl he wrote a poem to while riding the F train into lower Manhattan. His compulsive train rides in search of the girl become the opiate to Calvin's wounded dreams. Obsession with finding the girl becomes an addiction that ultimately, pitted against Calvin's hope of being published, threatens all of his aspirations.
