Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The 2021 Venice Film Festival is in full swing, and I sat down to chat with critic Jonathan Romney (The Observer, Screen Daily) about a few highlights: Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho, starring Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Diana Rigg, and Terence Stamp; Pablo Larrain’s Spencer, starring Kristen Stewart; Michelangelo Frammartino’s Il Buco; and Official Competition (that’s the title) starring Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, and Oscar Martinez. Please note there might be a little Venice ambience occasionally audible in the background—think of it as the festival buzz.
