Last Words (German: Letzte Worte) is a 1968 short film by Werner Herzog shot in Crete and on the island of Spinalonga.

[1] The film tells the story of the last man to leave the abandoned island of Spinalonga, which had been used as a leper colony.

He now lives in Crete, where he plays the Cretan lyra at nights in a bar, and refuses to speak.

The film's narrative style is very unconventional, with most characters speaking their lines several times repeatedly in long takes.

The man from the island has the most spoken lines of any character, as he repeatedly explains that he refuses to speak, even a single word.
