Ep. 245: Cannes 2024: Jordan Cronk on Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point, The Damned, Eephus, Universal Language

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival marches on, and I sat down with critic and programmer Jordan Cronk to hear about some recent highlights from Directors’ Fortnight and Un Certain Regard: Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point (directed by Tyler Taormina), The Damned (Roberto Minervini), Eephus (Carson Lund), and Universal Language (Matthew Rankin). I also flag Everybody Loves Touda, directed by Nabil Ayouch and co-written by Maryam Touzani (The Blue Caftan). Stay tuned for more to come!
