"At the Suicide of the Last Jew in the World in the Last Cinema in the World" is a short film by David Cronenberg and part of the To Each His Own Cinema anthology film. In the film Cronenberg explores for the first time on film his Jewish identity. The short film is part of a compilation of other short films from 35 auteurs that the Cannes Film Festival commissioned for its 60th anniversary. Cronenberg plays the title character, an old man holding a gun to his head, which Maclean's Brian D. Johnson described as "Cronenberg shoots himself shooting himself." He prepares to commit suicide on television while commentators discuss Jews and cinema.
