The Last Thing I Saw

Ep. 263: Venice 2024: Jonathan Romney on Maria, Babygirl, The Quay Bros., John and Yoko, Beetlejuice 2 Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The 81st Venice Film Festival has just begun, and I will be podcasting from the festival about the latest lineup. To make sense of the opening batch of movies, I sat down for a chat with critic Jonathan Romney, who is covering the festival for Screen Daily and The Observer. Among the titles we discussed are Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (directed by Tim Burton), Maria (Pablo Larrain), Babygirl (Halina Reijn), One to One: John & Yoko (Kevin Macdonald and Sam Rice-Edwards), and the long-in-the-making new film from The Brothers Quay, Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass.
