Venice 2022: All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, Saint Omer, The Banshees of Inisherin, Don’t Worry Darling with Jessica Kiang

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. The Venice Film Festival continues to roll out films that are sure to be the subject of discussion this fall, and this time, I talk with critic Jessica Kiang about notable titles from the past few days: Laura Poitras’s film about Nan Goldin, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed; Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees of Inisherin, starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Kerry Condon; Alice Diop's astonishing debut fiction feature, Saint Omer; and Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling, starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles. Check back for more from Venice!
