Ep. 342: Venice 2025: Glenn Kenny on Frankenstein, Bugonia, Jay Kelly, After the Hunt, No Other Choice, Broken English, Lo Spettro
Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week I have been busily watching movies at the Venice Film Festival, and for my first episode, I sit down with critic Glenn Kenny, who’s writing for RogerEbert.com. Among the Venice world premieres discussed are Frankenstein (directed by Guillermo del Toro), Bugonia (Yorgos Lanthimos), No Other Choice (Park Chan-wook), Jay Kelly (Noah Baumbach), After the Hunt (Luca Guadagnino), the Marianne Faithfull documentary Broken English (Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth), and a selection from the Venice Classics lineup of restorations, Riccardo Freda’s Lo Spettro (The Ghost), starring original scream queen Barbara Steele. Glenn also talks about his work on the Biennale College Cinema, the results of which are screening at the festival.
