Ep. 171: Beatrice Loayza on Erotic Thrillers + Dry Ground Burning + a NDNF pick Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week I talk with critic Beatrice Loayza (The New York Times, Cinema Scope) about erotic thrillers—the subject of a new series of films on the Criterion Channel. Loayza wrote an article thinking through the genre, and we discuss the titles available for streaming now from the 1980s and 90s: Ken Russell’s Crimes of Passion, John Dahl’s The Last Seduction, Nicholas Kazan’s Dream Lover, and Sollace Mitchell’s New York–set Call Me, among others. Loayza also talks about a recent stand-out among new releases, Dry Ground Burning, from directors Joana Pimenta and Adirley Queirós, and I offer a pick from the recent edition of New Directors / New Films.
