Director: Mauro Borrelli
A dinner party of idealistic friends slides from heated argument into something far darker in The Last Supper, a dark comedy that turns political frustration into a pitch-black thriller.
What is The Last Supper about?
The film gathers a circle of like-minded liberal friends whose late-night debates about the state of the world grow more heated with every glass of wine, until one provocative idea starts to feel less like venting and more like a plan. Director Mauro Borrelli plays the material for both laughs and dread, letting the group's self-righteousness curdle into something they can't easily walk back from once the first line is crossed. The tone shifts constantly between satire and genuine tension, keeping the audience unsure how far these otherwise ordinary people are willing to go for what they believe is right. Jamie Ward and James Oliver Wheatley lead an ensemble rounded out by Charlie MacGechan, Nathalie Rapti Gomez, James Faulkner, Robert Knepper, Daniel Fathers, and Batoul Marie Prenant.
Cast & crew
Ward and Wheatley anchor the friend group at the center of the story, with Faulkner and Knepper bringing weight to the film's more pointed confrontations. MacGechan and Rapti Gomez fill out the dinner table with characters whose doubts complicate the group's growing certainty.
Context & significance
A 2025 American production, The Last Supper belongs to a small genre of satirical thrillers that use a single dinner-table setting to dramatize political polarization rather than resolve it. It leans on dark comedy and crime-thriller tension in roughly equal measure, closer in spirit to a chamber piece than a conventional action film.
Where & how to watch
The Last Supper is available on K-Time with a Persian dub and Persian subtitles, so the film's rapid-fire dinner-table dialogue comes through clearly in Farsi. A free K-Time account login is all that's needed to stream it; the film's page itself can be browsed without signing in, as part of a Farsi-first viewing experience built for the Iranian diaspora.
