Reviews[edit]
The Last Eve was included in Film Threat's Ten Best Unseen Films of 2005.[1]

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."[2]
