Ep. 243: Cannes 2024: Eric Hynes on Megalopolis, plus Napoleon and The Girl With the Needle Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival is officially underway, and no film was more highly anticipated than Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis. To get the very latest, I connected with Eric Hynes, curator of film at the Museum of the Moving Image, fresh from a press screening of the movie, which has loomed over Cannes’ opening days this year. He shared his initial thoughts about Megalopolis, which stars Adam Driver as a would-be visionary city planner, and about another competition title, The Girl with the Needle (Magnus von Horn), and a Cannes Classics selection, Abel Gance’s Napoleon.
