Ep. 399: Guy Lodge on Cannes 2026: The Man I Love, Bitter Christmas, A Woman’s Life

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. With the 2026 Cannes Film Festival underway, I was delighted to sit down with Guy Lodge of Variety. Among the latest premieres discussed were a trio of Competition titles: The Man I Love (directed by Ira Sachs), Bitter Christmas (Pedro Almodóvar), and A Woman’s Life (Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet), plus a couple of shout-outs to films in the sidebar programs.
