Film/Video: The Last Supper

June 13, 2024
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Wexner Center Film/Video Theatre

This rarely screened film blends classical and surrealist elements to create a forceful message against colonialism.

A sanctimonious Spanish count and plantation owner in 1790s Havana decides to stage a pre-Easter recreation of the Last Supper using 12 of his slaves as disciples. He hopes to teach them about Christianity and even grants a reprieve from work on Good Friday. The enslaved men reject the proselytizing during the long dinner and later learn the count has reneged on his promises, leading to a violent uprising. In Spanish with English subtitles. (113 mins., 4K DCP)
