Episode 65: Rebecca Hall interview (The Night House) + Cannes catchup with Giovanni Marchini Camia - a podcast by The Last Thing I Saw

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. I like to bring together many kinds of movies on the show and this week’s deluxe episode is a case in point. We haven’t talked much about horror movies lately and so I was happy to get the chance to speak with Rebecca Hall about her role in The Night House, directed by David Bruckner. The Night House is a haunting horror movie about grief that opens on August 20, and we’ll hear more later about Hall's creating a character who faces both jump scares and weighty emotional burdens. But first we preview a few titles that we haven’t covered yet, with Giovanni Marchini Camia, a critic and editor (Fireflies Press) who attended the Cannes film festival. Key titles that premiered there will screen in New York and/or Toronto: Bruno Dumont’s dazzling satire France, starring Lea Seydoux; Gaspar Noé’s Vortex, a change of pace about an older couple; and Hong Sangsoo’s In Front of Your Face, his latest film (for now).
