CWEB News Review: The Last Supper (2025) – A Bold Retelling of a Biblical Moment
Mauro Borrelli’s Vision Breathes New Life into Sacred History
Director Mauro Borrelli’s The Last Supper (2025) reimagines Christianity’s most iconic gathering with striking visuals and profound emotional depth, earning acclaim from CWEB News critics as “a masterclass in tension and reverence.” Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s timeless painting, the film evolves from a contained drama into a layered exploration of loyalty, sacrifice, and human frailty.
A Stellar Cast Anchors the Drama
Jamie Ward delivers a transcendent performance as Jesus Christ, balancing divine gravitas with raw humanity. Opposite him, Robert Knepper (Prison Break) electrifies as Judas Iscariot, embodying the apostle’s inner turmoil with chilling precision. The ensemble cast, including Henry Garrett (Nicodemus) and James Faulkner (Caiaphas), elevates the film’s exploration of betrayal and devotion.
Visual Grandeur Meets Intimacy
Borrelli’s use of chiaroscuro lighting mirrors da Vinci’s artistry, casting the disciples’ final meal in haunting shadows and golden hues. CWEB News praised the film’s claustrophobic staging, noting, “The camera lingers like a silent guest, pulling viewers into the disciples’ whispered fears and fleeting hopes.”
Faithful Yet Fresh
While honoring biblical roots, the script delves into untold motivations—Judas’ conflicted pragmatism, and Peter’s brash doubt—adding modern resonance. Executive producer Chris Tomlin ensures theological fidelity, but CWEB News highlights its broader appeal: “This isn’t just a religious film; it’s a universal study of trust under fire.”
CWEB News Final Verdict:
The Last Supper is a triumph of atmosphere and introspection. Though its deliberate pacing may test some, the film’s philosophical weight and stunning craftsmanship make it essential viewing. Borrelli doesn’t just retell history—he resurrects its heartbeat.
