About this movie

Deftly blending pitch-black humor and intimate storytelling, Oscar®-nominated director Stacy Title's The Last Supper is a dark comedy of good food, fine wine and potent points of view. Jude (Cameron Diaz), Paulie (Annabeth Gish) and Pete (Ron Eldard) are liberal graduate students who want to save the world from the hypothetical horrors of tomorrow. They hold a lively series of weekly dinner parties, with carefully chosen, politically controversial dinner guests (Jason Alexander, Bill Paxton, Mark Harmon, Ron Perlman). Regardless of the conversation, the repast is always delightful, delectable and deadly-with tomatoes picked fresh from the shockingly fertile backyard. This wickedly delicious satire puts a sharp and stylish spin on what's right and left-and right and wrong-in contemporary American politics. MPAA Rating: R © 1996 The Vault, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
