Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
billcr12 The Last Supper is a stylish, bloody, and sometimes darkly funny tale from some very twisted minds from Japan. I was reminded of Paul Bartels' equally sadistic cannibal themed film from the early 1980's, Eating Raoul.Dr. Kotorida is a rich and famous plastic surgeon to the stars. The man has a strange taste for the flesh of young women. He murders the girls, butchers and fry's them with all the right seasonings. I was reminded of Dexter from the Showtime series who kills people but is a normal police lab investigator to everyone around him.Director Osamu Fukutani and Masaya Katô as Dr. Kotorida have created a memorable screen character as I have seen in a long time. This is not for the squeamish or for those offended by blood but I was definitely entertained for 93 minutes.
jplank1475 I really took a chance with this film, knowing nothing about it I bought it for two dollars because it sounded interesting.From watching the Tomie series, I knew I was in for something dark and sinister; thats just what I got.The main character who enjoys the taste of women's flesh is appalling as it is exciting. As horrible as it may sound, i must say that I didn't want him to get caught for some reason. He is literally killing women and eating them, but he's so cool and collected throughout.If you're tired of main stream American horror films that are watered down and filtered out, then this movie is for you.
lost-in-limbo Have a hankering for meat? After just watching this exploitative gloomy little shocker you'll be licking your chops or simply not hungry… maybe for days. The low-budgeted Japanese film 'The Last Supper' is a clinically weird, demented and often tasteless (but some might find it amusingly laughable) cannibal story about a plastic surgeon who goes from dweeb to popular after reverting to eating women's liposuction fat and this would lead to murder when the fixation becomes an addiction to keep this demanding persona. Everyone loves the unknown meat he always cooks up; suddenly he's the caught the gaze of an infatuated nurse and the cops begin their suspicious questioning after a disappearance of one of his patients.Perversely shocking and humorously twisted with deadpan sprinklings (and this is suitably done with the wedding gift towards the end that has to be seen to be believed!). Vegetarians keep clear. The camera likes to focus on the bloody, juicy meat at every opportunity and there's a scene that would have animal lovers in an uproar. It's bold, audacious and writer/director Osamu Fukutani's establishes a stimulating unpredictable and patient screenplay (off Kei Oishi's novel which would be an interesting read if this film is anything to go by) on a familiar concept involving a protagonist/cannibal surgeon (soberly humanised performance by Masaya Kato) detailing how his craving for woman's flesh began and eventually the patterns he went about to feed his hunger (like the sequence involving finding a secret club of cannibals and his actual first kill). There might be something hollow and disconnected to it, but it stays gripping and interesting in it's hauntingly close to heart illustrations.Fukutani's direction is competent in its limited scope and hypnotically tailored in a slow-ease and artsy style (look at the neon-lighting), but during the grotesque and splatter scenes he doesn't hold back. Simply in your face with the decapitations and dismembering of his victims, as you grit your teeth and recoil due to the nauseatingly squishy sound effects. Cracking bones (thanks to one hack-saw sequence), skin pealing, blood dripping, body parts sliding out and flesh chopping. Straight into the bubbling frying pan. Tasty! The allurement of the forbidden fruit and its strong essence is almost like an organism for those who eat it. They can't get enough of this ecstasy and that makes it slightly unnerving.Digital photography helps invoke a real sense of intimacy and the music is subtly dramatic with its scattered choices. The performances are tolerable with Hiroki Matsukata making for a weaselling detective.'The Last Supper' is cheaply produced, but a luridly fulfilling meal of delicacy.
smallleigh I watched this film the other day at the Dead by Dawn festival, and i must say what a film! A plastic surgeon realises that to truly lust/love someone, you must eat them. This is a fantastic film, with some excellent moments. This film actually makes cannibalism look appealing - human meat never looked so good. When the surgeon steals the human fat from his surgery and then fries it is easily the one point in the film that i thought i was gonna be sick - disgusting, sick, vile.... but bloody great! I actually came out of the theatre wanting to sink my teeth into some meat, and so did the other guys i saw it with. The film went down great at the festival and easily was the film of the day - except probably to the promo of Worst Case Scenario - If that film gets made - its gonna rock hard! All in all a great film thats worth watching it if you can.
