The Last Time I Committed Suicide (1997)

Set against the raw and roaring backdrop of the 1940s, "The Last Time I Committed Suicide" follows the turbulent journey of Neal Cassady, a man caught in the throes of a beatnik lifestyle. He navigates through a labyrinth of casual dalliances and gritty labor at The Tire Yard, torn between the disarray of his existence and the allure of a conventional life. Beneath the veneer of his nomadic adventures, Neal harbors visions of domestic tranquility – a life filled with children's laughter, the charm of a white picket fence, and the comforting presence of his girlfriend, Joan. However, when Joan's desperate cry for commitment culminates in a suicide attempt, Neal is jolted from his fantasies, and fear propels him into flight. As an aspiring writer, Neal channels his pain and confusion into a poignant letter. He details the reckless exploits he shares with his friend and the sobering reality of his life post-Joan's suicide attempt. His words paint a vivid picture of a man straddling two worlds, grappling with the choice between a haphazard freedom and the grounding ties of love and commitment. Just when it seems like Neal has turned his back on the dream of a settled life, Joan reemerges, reigniting the possibility of a shared future. As he stands at this crossroads, Neal must decide whether to seize this second shot at happiness or retreat into the familiar chaos of his past. "The Last Time I Committed Suicide" is a vibrant exploration of love, loss, and the lingering question of what could be.
