Search - The Last Supper on DVD

"The Last Supper" is a thought provoking movie with a dark comedic undertone. A group of friends love to discuss the topics relevant to what is happening in society at the moment. These "group" of college educated friends are like a close-knit gypsy family who feel the need to express their history through wall paintings, as well as adapting some older ideas of gardening and making a wonderful meal to judge a person's nature. They have adopted a level of judgement that has life or death consequences. Despite the dark undertone of the movie, there are bits of comedic element that keeps the story going. Judge not, lease you be judged...

A Machiavellian Menu?

"It was a dark and stormy night when five liberal graduate students in Iowa meet for Sunday dinner and find that in an excess of gratitude (for providing a ride to one of their members) they have invited a right-wing nut case to join them. Before dinner is over, the guest has pulled a knife and threatened several of the students, and in a move that is obviously defensive but not self-defense, one of the students delivers a knife to the back of the guest, who then dies. Contemplating their options, the students determine the best course is to dispose of the body in the backyard. As they debate the "how the liberals talk and talk and don't do anything" (except that they did) the opportunities for future dinner "dates" and just a bit of arsenic in the wine becomes a reality. As the plants in the backyard flourish with the new fertilizer, the sheriff is becoming curious, the students are nervous and on edge - and the very Last Supper delivers a truly Machiavellian twist.



Did the choice of title chase away the intended audience? Perhaps that is the explanation for why this film is so little known. Save it for a dark and stormy night, and be ready for a surprise.

"I'm not sure how or where I stumbled across this movie, but I never miss it when it comes on and now I own it. Don't take this movie too seriously, watch it for entertainment value and you'll have a great time. Excellent and original concept. I love it. Rent it, own it, watch it!"

Intellectual Gem

"Group of intellects create their own moral dilemma. I saw this movie years ago and it's been one of my all time favorite conversation pieces. If you like intelligent conversation, and always think you're right... SEE THIS. Cameron Diaz is a minor player in this cast of majors, but she does the job. The one to look out for is "Hellboy". Enjoy. And then remember it the next time you have a dinner party."
