Ep. 199: Venice 2023 with Guy Lodge: Poor Things, New Wiseman, City of Wind, Explanation for Everything
Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. The 80th Venice Film Festival has begun, and I’m reporting from Venice about the movies that are making their premieres here. For the second episode, I’m joined by Guy Lodge, who’s writing for Variety and Film of the Week. We discuss Yorgos Lanthimos’s unexpected hit Poor Things, Frederick Wiseman’s Menus Plaisirs – Les Troisgros, and two films from the Horizons section: City of Wind from director Lkhagvadulam Purev-Ochir, and Gabor Reisz’s Explanation for Everything.
