One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

An absolute waste of money

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

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

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.

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.

I have just seen this at Edinburgh's Dead by Dawn festival and was thoroughly impressed with it. I had never heard of it before so had no idea what to expect.A renowned plastic surgeon and budding media darling develops a taste for human flesh after taking a bit of lypo-suction fat home with him, frying it up and having a munch.It's a pretty sick concept but has good comedy moments in all the right places. It is almost a pro-cannibalism in the way the story is told and is unlike anything I have ever seen before. It went down really well with the festival crowd and was easily film of the day.It is also very well shot, with some excellent lighting in certain interior scenes, superb timing and decent acting throughout. Very implausible at times, but that does not take anything away from it, and fans of Japanese horror will be used to this anyway.I hope lots more genre fans get to see the surprise gem.
