The Last Butterfly (; ) is a 1990 CzechâÂÂFrench holocaust drama film directed by Karel Kachyà Âa based on the book The Last Butterfly by Canadian author Michael Jacot.
The movie had a premiere in Czechoslovakia in 1991. The film received generally positive reviews. Stephen Holden wrote in New York Times: "The mood of calm despair that hangs over the film lends it a disquietingly surreal aura. But it also plays into the story, which describes an attempt to deliver a horrifying message without stating it in words." David Mills wrote in The Washington Post: "The Last Butterfly demonstrates the precious power of art to transmit emotional truths about history, if not the factual completeness of history."
