Episode 97: Sundance 2022 #4 with Beatrice Loayza (Dos Estaciones, Speak No Evil, Brainwashed, jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy)

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. The Sundance Film Festival is here, there, and everywhere this year, screening in a virtual edition. For this episode, I chat with Beatrice Loayza, a New York Times contributor and an editor at the Criterion Collection, about her recent Sundance selections, her favorites and her not-so-favorites. We talk about Juan Pablo González’s Dos Estaciones, Christian Tafdrup’s Speak No Evil, Nina Menkes’s Brainwashed, and jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, from Clarence “Coodie” Simmons and Chike Ozah.
