Cannes 2026 is in full swing, and the Film Comment crew is on the ground, ready to cut through the noise with dispatches, interviews, Podcasts, a special Cannes Critics’ Grid, and much more. This year’s edition is packed with highly anticipated premieres from Pedro Almodóvar, Valeska Grisebach, James Gray, Paweł Pawlikowski, and many more acclaimed filmmakers.

For our fourth Podcast from the Croisette, Film Comment Editor Devika Girish is joined by critic Öykü Sofuoğlu as well as FC Contributing Editor and Asia Society programmer Inney Prakash to debate their reactions to Clarissa (3:18), Arie and Chuko Esiri's Mrs Dalloway adaptation set in contemporary Lagos; Sheep in the Box (18:50), Hirokazu Kore-eda's parable about the dangers of AI; and Hope (33:09), Na Hong-jin's high-throttle monster movie.
