Ep. 212: Restorations with James Vaughan: Abel Gance, Pressure, Man Ray, Abraham’s Valley
Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. Every year the New York Film Festival rolls out a selection of revivals and restorations, and for the latest edition, I welcomed filmmaker James Vaughan (Friends and Strangers) back to the podcast. We discussed a number of highlights, some of which will be making their way to cinemas: La Roue (Abel Gance), Pressure (Horace Ové), films by Man Ray (accompanied by Jim Jarmusch’s band SQÜRL), and Abraham’s Valley (Manoel de Oliveira). Plus a straggler from the premieres: Martin Rejtman’s La Practica.
