Claudio Carvalho In Tokyo, Doctor Yuji Kotorida (Masaya Kato) is a famous plastic surgeon that works with two former university classmates, Dr. Akimoto and Dr. Yanagihara, and a distinguished cook in his vacant time. He welcomes a television crew at home that is preparing a coverage about his life, but he does not disclose the secret about his meat. Dr. Kotorida writes an anonymous diary in Internet where he discloses his dark secrets. He was an unpopular student and mediocre doctor in the beginning of his career until the day that he tried to eat human fat from a liposuction. Soon he improves his skills and decides to try to eat human flesh. When he finds a suicidal woman hanging on a tree branch, he brings her corpse home and literally eats her. When he travels to lecture in Hong Kong, he kills his first woman to eat her flesh and becomes addicted in flesh of young women. When his colleague and former lover Dr. Akimoto tells that she will get married to Dr. Yanagihara, Dr. Kotorida promises to prepare the dishes for her guests. But he is the prime suspect of the snoopy Detective Shimoda (Katsuya Kobayashi)."Saigo no bansan", a.k.a. "The Last Supper", is a bizarre Japanese horror movie by Osamu Fukutani with a gruesome story of cannibalism. The plot holds the attention of the viewer, but the conclusion is very disappointing, senseless and open without any explanation. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available
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.
XbaccioX I thought this movie was really interesting. The plot was alright. I usually have no problem watching horror flicks, but for some reason I was really grossed out watching this film! If you like watching people eating each other basically, then you'll have a blast! I think it was the part where the main character fries up some fat he took home from one of his patients. It just made me sick! Just the sound effects had me going!! If you like to gross yourself out, I'd recommend this for you all. The ending also was VERY interesting I thought. I was a bit grossed out when I found out that the main character cut his face off and gave it as a surprise wedding gift at the end. Plus it was weird to see other characters in the movie wanting to eat women meat, like the police guy. WEIRD!
