Episode 67: Locarno 2021 with Jordan Cronk
The Last Thing I Saw - A podcast by Nicolas Rapold
Categories:
Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. It’s August and that means it’s time to talk about the Locarno film festival, which for years has been a reliable launching pad for stimulating and challenging cinema. This year I’m back talking with the critic and programmer Jordan Cronk (Acropolis Cinema). Our highlights include a raw adaptation of Medea from Russia by Alex Zeldovich, a spectacular debut feature called A New Old Play from a Chinese artist that looks at the afterlife, and the Indonesian genre film Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash.
