Ep. 336: Jordan Cronk on Locarno 2025: With Hasan in Gaza, Mektoub My Love, Blue Heron, Balearic, Phantoms of July

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week I report from the Locarno film festival, which annually rolls out an adventuresome sale of films. For my first episode I’m joined by Jordan Cronk, critic and programmer, who has already seen an impressive share of titles in the early days. Titles discussed include With Hasan in Gaza (Kamal Aljafari), Blue Heron (Sophy Romvari), Mektoub, My Love: Canto Due (Abdellatif Kechiche), Balearic (Ion de Sosa), and Phantoms of July (Julian Radlmaier).
