The Last Supper (2005)

That was an excellent one.

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

When you don't want anymore to eat pork meat, you start eating human meat. That's the idea of this "film". The story is sub-stupid, the acting is super-bad, I was watching and I couldn't believe what I'm watching. They call themselves filmmakers. I would call them butchers. Butchers of the 7th Art. I hope not all Asians are crazy. There is still Kurosawa, Kaneto Shindô, Hiroshi Teshigahara. Somebody has to do a parody upon this. Maybe you'll say that I'm too sensible. I am not! Life goes on and I'm still hungry: I'm going to eat some good cheese with fresh tomatoes.

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.

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.

This film is twisted. Essentially, the plot is that a doctor develops a fascination with human flesh, first eating the fat from a liposuction, then consuming the body of a housewife who committed suicide, and then finally moving up to killing and eating people himself. There is a strange sequence when the character goes to China and becomes involved in a underground club that features human flesh served Beni-Hana style. (one can only assume they ran out of cats.) A Chinese girl offers to become his personal meal for $30,000. Except if you eat a Chinese girl, aren't you hungry again an hour later? He then goes back to Japan to entice women into coming into his home, all covered in plastic, so he can butcher and eat them. The story does a pretty good job of taking us into the character's strange little world, and making what he does seem somewhat rational.The film's climax is when the doctor caters the wedding of his love interest and his romantic rival, using the flesh of people he has killed. He's no Hannibal Lecter, but it's still an interesting film.
