Last Cabaret (Japanese: ラスト・キャバレー, Hepburn: Rasuto kyabaree) is a 1988 Japanese erotic drama film directed by Shusuke Kaneko. It was released on 23 April 1988. The film was the second-to-last entry in Nikkatsu's series of Roman Porno films, a higher budget version of the pink film.

Plot

When a greedy land developer forces a popular cabaret to shut down, the owner's daughter goes on a trek to visit her father's old girlfriends to reminisce about the past. The story has been taken by critics as a metaphor for the demise of the Nikkatsu studio itself which would soon halt film production.
