Ep. 256: Amy Taubin on Leos Carax’s It’s Not Me, The Shrouds, Charles Atlas, Arthur Jafa, Man Ray, and More

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The one and only Amy Taubin comes back to The Last Thing I Saw for a wide-ranging conversation about what she’s been watching. That includes at least a couple of Cannes titles—Leos Carax’s It’s Not Me and David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds—and New York repertory highlights from the spring: the enormous Charles Atlas retrospective at Anthology Film Archives (which is still ongoing through June), the Man Ray restorations touring with new Jim Jarmusch–led score, and Arthur Jafa’s shattering reimagining of the brutal ending to Taxi Driver, titled “*****”, shown at the Gladstone Gallery. There are also shout-outs to the Antoinetta Angelidi revival in Prismatic Ground, a new Blu-ray of Too Much Sleep, and more.
