Venice 2022: Tar, White Noise, Bardo with Jonathan Romney

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week, the Venice Film Festival opened, and I hereby begin my annual coverage of the festival’s highlights, live from the Lido. I talk with the veteran critic Jonathan Romney about the first volley of films at this annual showcase that inaugurates the fall season: Noah Baumbach’s White Noise, an adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel, with Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig; Todd Field’s Tár, starring Cate Blanchett, with Nina Hoss and Noémie Merlant; and Bardo, the latest opus from Alejandro González Iñárritu, starring Daniel Giménez Cacho. Stay tuned for more from Venice!
