Film Threat

"The Noah" is an amazing, original and shattering experience. This one is truly a lost classic." – Phil Hall

Product Description

Noah, the sole remaining survivor on our planet after a nuclear holocaust, finds himself unable to accept his unique predicament. To cope with his loneliness, he creates an imaginary companion, then a companion for his companion and finally an entire civilization - a world of illusion in which there is no reality but Noah, no rules but those of the extinct world of his memory - our world. This once thought "lost" classic is presented for the first time in the world in a newly remastered Special Edition restored from the newly discovered original 35mm film negatives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Haven't I Heard of this Movie Before?, June 7, 2006

This review is from: The Noah (DVD)

Actually, no one has heard of this movie before. Overlooked for 32 years, The Noah is the first and only film by director Daniel Bourla. And that's a darn shame.

The movie plays like a great Twilight Zone episode. Remember the episode where the bookworm wishes he were the last person on earth, so he can read all the books to his hearts content without distractions? Of course, he gets his wish. And just when he begins his book reading marathon, his eyeglasses break.

The Noah is similar, in an inverted way. After years of service in the military, The Noah (played by Robert Strauss), planned to spend his remaining years on his pension somewhere peaceful, quiet... where he could relax. Maybe a nice beach side property off the coast of Florida.

Instead, a nuclear holocaust. The Noah is swept to an exotic coast in South East Asia and is the last man on earth.

At first, The Noah almost enjoys his solitude. But quickly loneliness sets in. To cope, The Noah creates a trumpet playing Army Private named Friday. Friday inevitably becomes lonely. In good faith, The Noah creates a girlfriend for Friday whom he calls Friday Anne.

Three is a crowd when The Noah and Friday Anne don't see eye to eye. From here on out nothing holds The Noah back until he's created a school... a town... a civilization.

Watch The Noah for the interesting story, wonderful performance, interesting cinematography, and directing. You will think about it for days and days...

Being a fan of post apocalyptic movies this was a must-see for me. Though the film is bit dated, a bit long and slow, I am glad I did. It is Robinson Crusoe taken to the next level. Strange the director never made any other films.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different, interesting & studious., January 12, 2009

Wayne Beaupre "man-of-the-worldly-1's" (constant global traveller, Texas based.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Noah (DVD)

Try this terrific look at madness/escapism when amidst isolation, desperation & loneliness created by one's accepted duty to country & society.
A very interesting & extremely well done film focusing on one soldier's situation in the South Pacific during WWII., fitting nicely into the ' intelligent Sci-Fi ' category ( not your usual Sci-Fi ).
Strange, thoughtful & certainly unique.
One of my favorite films that try to take on human possibilities.
A excellent flick for those who prefer good films apart from the usual ' action filled ', mindless entertainment style so prevalent these days.
