Ep. 406: Manohla Dargis on Cannes 2026
Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. As the 2026 Cannes Film Festival drew to a close, I was fortunate again to sit down with Manohla Dargis, chief film critic of The New York Times, for our annual Cannes finale. The films discussed included titles that hadn’t been addressed yet on the podcast, as well as some that had. Throughout, Dargis shares her thoughts on this year’s edition of the festival in a historical context. Please note that the episode was recorded before the awards ceremony.
