Ep. 251: Cannes 2024: Nick Davis on Bird, Grand Tour, Emilia Perez, Motel Destino Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. On the latest episode chock full of highlights from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, I welcome a dear old friend, Nick Davis, a professor of film at Northwestern University and writer/editor of his own outstanding longtime site of film criticism (nick-davis.com). On his inaugural visit to Cannes, he shared his typically quicksilver thoughts on a slate of boldly imagined movies: Bird (directed by Andrea Arnold), Emilia Perez (Jacques Audiard), Grand Tour (Miguel Gomes), and Motel Destino (Karim Ainouz).
