	Bigert&Bergström: Last Supper
		Today, the ritual of giving the last supper to the condemned person has been detached from its origin, and can be perceived to be as absurd as the punishment it accompanies.
		Last Supper focuses on this discrepancy between historical "meaning" and contemporary use of a tradition that has lost its connection with the past.
		Last Supper is projected in “The Blue Sky Room”, a reconstruction of a witness room for an execution chamber.

		Next up is Martin Scorsese's 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ, in which the Last Supper is preceded by gory scenes of Jewish priests wading about in lamb's blood, carrying bowls of sacrificial animal juices back and forth from the altar in Jerusalem.
		As Scorsese films the famous supper, the disciples, joined here by a whole pack of women, are seated on the ground in a square formation, gathered in overlapping clusters around a tablecloth crammed with Passover munchies.
		Filmed in Israel, the movie version of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical stages the Last Supper as a picnic held in broad daylight under a grove of olive trees.

		Like capital punishment itself, the last supper tradition is itself a sedimented cultural practice, one which has been and continues to be used in many different geographical and historical contexts for different reasons and with different meanings.
		English documentary director James Marsh's Last Supper was first aired on the BBC in 1992, while the Swedish artist team of Mats Bigert and Lars Bergström showed their documentary recently on Swedish television.
		The ritual of the last supper is also a way for the guards, or for the people working in the prison, to ask for forgiveness, to indicate to the prisoner that it’s not their fault, that it’s the system…

	EUFS: The Last Supper
		The Last Supper is about a group of five post-grad students who, in order to make the world a better place, decide to poison their dinner guests before using their corpses to fertilise their increasingly sizable tomato plants (a nod perhaps to Robert Aldrich's Whatever Happened to Aunt Alice).
		The film tackles all the major hang-ups of modern life through the guests who range from a homophobic priest, to a man who believes that all women want to have sex whether they say yes or no, to a teenage girl who thinks that sex education is destroying the minds of the nation's youth.
		The Last Supper is an excellent observation of arrogant and allknowing views brought to a logical conclusion.

		The Last Supper is based on an actual historical incident which occurred on the estate of the Count of Casa Bayona in 1790.
		Duclé, the French sugar master of the film, is a character typical of the time, a refugee from Saint-Domingue who has sought safety in Cuba, bringing with him the technical expertise to establish sugar cane production as a profitable activity.
		But, as Duclé observes in the film, this was not an unmixed blessing, because the shift to extensive cane production also brought major social transformations--the more cane Cuba produced, the more African slaves it needed to bring in the harvest.

		Issa Freij and Nicolas Wadimoff's documentary Last Supper (Abu Dis) examines a Palestinian village on the outskirts of Jerusalem that is slowly being enclosed by the Israeli apartheid wall.

		Ironically as Last Supper shows in this year's Chicago Palestine Film Festival, we find that the United States is adopting similar tactics of the IDF with the current administration announcing plans to send 6,000 Guard troops to the Mexican border.

	Appetites left unfulfilled in 'Last Supper'
		"The Last Supper" has got to be one of the most preposterous movies to come down the pike since the glory days of Ed Wood, lacking any believable characters or situations, and proceeding so brazenly with ridiculous material as to cause the attentive viewer to manifest a passionate hatred for each passing frame.
		That's because "The Last Supper" doesn't even have the good humor to recognize how abysmal it is and have some fun with itself.
		Penner, who also helped produce "The Last Supper," made his initial impressions in an old TV movie called "Religion, Inc.," in which he co-starred with a young Sandra Bullock and, if he seemed too much like an annoying Jerry Seinfeld clone there, he still hasn't realized his apparent potential to play a great sadistic villain.

	Andy Warhol: The Last Supper Paintings Essay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci formed the subject of Andy Warhol's final and, arguably, one of his greatest series of paintings.The impetus was the proposal for an exhibition to be held in a gallery in Milan located directly across the street from the church housing the celebrated Renaissance fresco.
		Although certain of these motifs were reemployed in the hand-drawn Last Supper paintings, in several memorable instances Warhol left the image untouched, a clear, if cursive, silhouette.
		This series based on the Last Supper was not, however, the sole occasion on which Warhol engaged with the work of Leonardo.

		Where Clinton, Dole and Gingrich promise the impossible, The Last Supper takes it one step further and shows the consequences of conflicting ideals when a group of Iowa graduate students with their own agendas of hypotheticals and liberal points of view collide head on with premeditated and cold-blooded murder.
		Playing on a loose semi-religious connotation of Christ's last supper, the '90s tale of politics-meets-arsenic-and-old-lace gives new meaning to the word dinnertime genocide while providing a vehicle for the remote and much vaunted model-turned-actress of Cuban, German, English and Native American bloodlines, Cameron Diaz.

		I saw The Last Supper maybe 4 years ago, so I'm probably not the best person to comment, but I do recall finding it entertaining and darkly funny, if a little enamoured with its own cleverness.
		If Iowa is not the right location for this film (which is my opinion), then where in America is? Maybe there is a location, however, I think that it is difficult to find a particular location where this fits exactly as portrayed in the movie.

		Instead, it's a fl comedy/satire that ruthlessly skewers political extremism by suggesting that the farther to the left or right you travel on the political spectrum, the closer you move to the same destination.
		The Last Supper also consciously attacks political correctness by depicting the somewhat-absurd lengths to which this predominant social philosophy can be taken.
		Occasionally, The Last Supper tries to be serious, but drama is by far the film's weakest element.

	'The Last Supper' (R)
		Set somewhere in Iowa, the film focuses on a houseful of liberal grad students who unexpectedly kill a bigot, find they like the idea and decide to make a habit of it.
		"The Last Supper," an inhospitable comedy about a series of poisonous political dinner parties, takes its story but not its cues from the classic charmer "Arsenic and Old Lace." Written by Dan Rosen and directed by Stacy Title, this sour, repetitive fare fails to feed our hunger for either laughter or enlightenment.
		The Last Supper is rated R for language, sexuality and violence.

		The brilliant colours in the painting were dulled and a series of crude restoration attempts over the last 500 years compounded the problem.
		Over the last 20 years restorers led by Pinin Brambilla Barcilon have worked to repair areas where paint had flaked away and attempted to uncover fragments of the original painting which had been repainted or flened by glue during earlier restorations.
		She described the restoration as a "slow, severe conquest, which, flake after flake, day after day, millimetre after millimetre, fragment after fragment, gave back a reading of the dimensions, of the expressive and chromatic intensity that we thought was lost forever".

		We must remember that The Last Supper is a Cuban film written during the Cold War, and that it was clearly not widely produced or viewed in the United States.
		Arnold is clearly disappointed with The Last Supper, highlighting several failures in the film to elicit feeling from the viewer.
		Moreover, the set piece of the story, the master's Last Supper party, looks so static and stagey on screen that one suspects it might be more effective on the stage.

	Mrs. God - A new documentary suggests that Jesus might not have been celibate after all. By Sian Gibby
		The film leans heavily on Brown's interpretation of Da Vinci's famous painting The Last Supper.

		The film never mentions origins of the document, nor does it acknowledge the possibility that it could be an elaborate hoax.

	SPLICEDwire: "The Last Supper" review
		The problem with movies like "The Last Supper," about 20-somethings with lots to talk about and nothing to do, is they try to cut a wide creative swath through biting satire, poignant darkness, and aesthetics and come up far short on all counts.
		About a house full of left-leaning grad students who don't go to school and don't have jobs, "The Last Supper" follows them through a few months of Sunday night dinners to which they invite political conservatives, listen to their views and then kill them.
		The victims are so cartoonish that the conversation which could have been insightful and exploring (and should have been the most interesting part of the film), is instead nothing but a catalog of conservative catch phrases to incense the homicidal hosts.

	Jurassic Park and the Last Supper, by Timothy Racliffe, o.p.
		Then I went to see the film Jurassic Park and it became clear that this is a story that shows us a wonderful picture of the world in which we have to live our faith today.
		Our other story, that of the Last Supper, is also a story of violence, of the violence that is inflicted upon Jesus, and which he bears, “like a sheep that is led to the slaughter, he did not open his mouth”.
		The last contrast that I would like to make between Jurassic Park and the Last Supper is deeply connected with the possibility of forgiveness.

		The film will be based on a book that the French president’s former confidants say is intrusive and fanciful.
		Jack Lang, the minister of culture under Mitterrand and one of those present at his last supper, warned that the late president’s personality “was too rich to be reduced to a few more or less made-up anecdotes”.

	The Last Supper Film Review - Time Out Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The camera never leaves the room where Chris, withered by AIDS, wishes his life to be terminated after a last supper with his partner (Nicholsen).
		It's a tribute to Roberts and McDougall (who died four days after filming) that the film's power derives less from the latter's physical condition than from his persisting dignity.
		In body, Chris looks and sounds barely human; in spirit, he transcends his affliction, particularly in two set-pieces: a dance he performs, with white death- mask and carnations, to 'Dido's Lament' (a riveting sequence that puts the comparable scene in Philadelphia in the shade), and the candle-lit song during which he passes away.
