Mar. 23, 2025 | Movie: “The Last Supper”

As we come to the final weeks of Lent, a new movie takes a look especially at that seminal event for the church – “The Last Supper” – where Jesus showed his disciples what it means to serve and established the Eucharist. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talked with Mauro Borrelli, the director of the new movie from executive producer Chris Tomlin, in theaters now, about the themes the film takes on. Gunty and Borrelli talk about how the feeding of the thousands with a few loaves and two fish presages the Last Supper, and how the Apostles around Jesus experience a rollercoaster of emotion in Holy Week.
