The Last Supper
A devout sugar plantation owner in late 18th-century Cuba, seeking to impart a lesson in Christian humility, hosts an opulent dinner for twelve of his slaves, meticulously recreating the Last Supper. Seated at a lavishly set table, the master, assuming the role of Christ, distributes wine and bread to his 'apostles,' preaching sermons on obedience and forgiveness. As the night deepens and the slaves become intoxicated by the unfamiliar wine, the carefully constructed idyll begins to fracture. The ritual spirals into an unpredictable eruption of long-suppressed rage and despair.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Tomás Gutiérrez Alea crafts not a historical drama, but a sharp, almost theatrical parable-trap. The camera coldly observes the escalating absurdity and monstrous hypocrisy of a colonial ritual where gospel symbols become tools of oppression.
What lingers after the credits is a ruthless and uncomfortable ending that offers no easy answers, only the exposed chasm between ideal and practice, between faith and power. A precisely aimed film with a bitter aftertaste of truth. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Tomás Gutiérrez Alea
Best Watched
The plantation's oppressive heat, the cloying scent of cane and expensive wine, the strained silence of the feast.
