All of the reviews so far have missed the mark on this one. The funniest comment is that Depardieu is "corpulent." He doesn't have a six-pack, by any means, but he is not at all corpulent. Even in his later years, he has been, at most, a little chunky. What intrigues me most of all is that none of the reviews mention the creepy fact that a number of sex scenes in this film have a toddler in the middle of them, and that Gerard Depardieu, in a few scenes, spends an inappropriate time exploring said toddler's boy parts. I get that it's supposed to be a comment on some vague Freudian male penis obsession, but it doesn't have to be creepy like that to make such a point (whatever point that is; it's never made clear). It stops just this side of getting the baby involved in the sex, but goes as far as having a swinger fondling party while the baby watches and to have the baby naked on the bed between Depardieu and Muti carrying out some obvious foreplay, to name a couple of disturbing examples. No wonder this one is hard to find.

The good news is this movie features some gratuitous nudity from the beauteous Italian actress Ornella Muti. The bad news is it features far, far more gratuitous nudity from the not-so-beauteous and quite corpulent French actor Gerard Depardieu. This is another slice of Italo-Gallic insanity from director Marco Ferreti. It somewhat resembles his later, more famous film "Ciao, Monkey", but instead of a baby monkey, Depardieu's character has a chubby human baby. But like the monkey in the later film, the male baby is largely a metaphor for the perpetual narcissistic infantilism of Depardieu's character.Depardieu plays a single father whose feminist wife leaves him alone with their small baby. This doesn't slow down his inveterate womanizing,however, and he soon starts an affair with a young daycare teacher (Muti). It's a little disturbing, especially by modern-day standards, the way Depardieu and Muti engage in naked foreplay pretty much right in front of the baby (although they do have the decency to go into the next room to actually screw). Children that young have little memory, however, so I'm sure the infant actor was much less traumatized by Depardiue's bloated nude body than I was. Anyway, there's a lot of melodrama involving the Depardieu character's continuing compulsive infidelities and his feelings of male irrelevancy in the face of feminism and female sexual liberation. In fact, if the male organ with its insatiable appetites, extreme insecurities, and fickle nature somehow became an actual person it would be just like Depardieu's character in this movie. (So basically, Depardieu here plays a big chubby dick).As other reviewers have said,the end of this movie is quite shocking-- Depardieu is harpooned by Captain Ahab and he drags him, his ship, and his entire crew to the bottom of the ocean. . . Oh wait, that was "Moby Dick". Well, the end of this movie is even more shocking, especially if you're male. Depardieu does give a very good performance, so I certainly would recommend this to his fans. Muti is not as good (but, oh man, is she beautiful), and this film really marks her transition to the kind of daring art films she is best known for (and without which she'd be a forgotten Italian version of Brooke Shields today) And whatever you can say about Marco Ferreti's films, they're definitely NOT dull. This not great, but check it out if it sounds interesting to you.

"The Last Woman" is a pessimistic drama from Marco Ferreri,which openly criticizes feminism as the main source of loneliness among men.Gerard Depardieu plays an engineer who is married to Gabrielle.When his wife leaves him for feminist reasons he is left with custody of their nine-month old son.The relationship between Gerard and his son's daycare worker Valerie begins.After seeing how self absorbed and one dimensional Gerard is Valerie threatens to leave him.Gerard responds by cutting off his penis with an electric carving knife."The Last Woman" is a shocking and sexually graphic movie.The world in which we live in is the world in which we are all mere particles,colliding randomly but never connecting.In a perfectly liberal sexual system some people have a varied and exciting erotic life,others are reduced to masturbation and solitude.8 out of 10.

About two reels into this merde Gerard Depardieu takes an electric carving knife to a salami. In the world of Marco Ferrari this is the epitome of subtlety; after spending about two thirds of the movie totally and full-frontally naked Depardieu, in search of an encore, takes the same electric carving knife and removes his own penis. That's all, folks. I've said it before and I'll say it again, people actually pay good money to watch rubbish like this and actors - mostly French - who should know better lined up to appear in Ferrari movies, none more often than Michel Piccoli, who played in at least three. Here, in addition to Depardieu and Piccoli Nathalie Baye also makes an appearance though mercifully brief - for her career, not the viewer. Ferrari seems to be saying ... er ... anything you like and if you're a pseud and/or Academic you're gonna love it. Otherwise there's always the Texas ChainSaw Massacre for those who don't understand, like, or can't deal with REAL movies.
