Ep. 253: Cannes 2024: Justin Chang on All We Imagine as Light, Caught by the Tides, The Shrouds

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. On the latest selection of highlights recorded during the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, I was delighted to sit down with Justin Chang of The New Yorker, recent recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, with whom I’d last chatted when he was at the Los Angeles Times. On this episode, occasionally to the soundtrack of Cannes doves cooing nearby, we talked about All We Imagine as Light (directed by Payal Kapadia), Caught by the Tides (Jia Zhangke), and The Shrouds (David Cronenberg). We also chatted about the festival’s ebb and flow, and the awards prospects at the time of recording.
