Ep. 313: Alison Willmore on Cannes 2025: Sound of Falling, Enzo, and a look at the lineup

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The 2025 Cannes Film Festival has begun and I’m back to talk about movies with another all-star cast of guests. To kick off this year’s series, I’m delighted to welcome Alison Willmore of Vulture and New York Magazine for her debut on the podcast, starting with a bang: the first great movie at the festival, Sound of Falling, directed by Mascha Schilinski. We also rattle off a few probable attention-getters in this year’s edition, and discuss another, intriguing early premiere, Enzo, a film by the late Laurent Cantet, directed by Robin Campillo.
