Based on an infamously bloodthirsty episode in China’s history where two warring generals battled for control of China as the Qin Dynasty came to its end, The Last Supper is the very definition of historical epic.

With sprawling battle scenes filmed in sumptuous detail, an excellent cast including Daniel Wu (Warcraft: The Beginning), and an almost Shakespearean screenplay, The Last Supper is underlined by the message that history is, indeed, written by its winners.

Director
Chuan Lu (City of Life and Death)

2000 years ago, the Qin Emperor is at the height of his tyranny, spurring a revolution led by the noble families. Beyond the battlefields, citizens lie hungry and homeless in the streets. Pushed to the edges by their fate, these hopeless individuals dream of becoming more than they really are.

With the Qin dynasty crumbling, humble labourer Liu Bang (Ye Liu) rises through the ranks to lead a powerful army to a victory which marks a new dawn in ancient China. However, convinced that power-hungry generals are out to kill him, Liu Bang must battle uncertainty and rebellion in his attempts to establish himself as emperor of the new Han dynasty.

Chuan Lu’s historical epic takes on one of the most famous episodes of Chinese history, drawing on the latest archaeological findings and imbuing it with Shakespearean storytelling and lush cinematography drenched in artistic style - putting many of Hollywood’s history films to shame!

Telling his tale with a flashback structure, Chuan Lu gives us the story of a dying emperor, looking back on his greatest battles with his most daunting adversaries. As the story unfolds, we get increasing perspective on different events. For instance, the famous Feast at Hong Gate is returned to time and time again, with a new layer of insight into the characters and events each time - weaving a deliciously rich tapestry.

With enough treachery and betrayal to please even Game of Thrones fans, The Last Supper is an exceptional historical epic with added style and flair.
