Ep. 395: Jonathan Romney on Cannes 2026: All of a Sudden (Soudain), Gentle Monster, John Lennon the Last Interview

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The 2026 Cannes Film Festival is underway, and I sat down with regular guest Jonathan Romney, who is filing as usual for Screen Daily. We couldn’t resist exchanging first (and differing) impressions of a few freshly premiered films: the much-anticipated new feature from Ryusuke Hamaguchi, All of a Sudden, plus the harrowing Gentle Monster from the director of Corsage, Marie Kreutzer, and finally the inventive new documentary John Lennon: The Last Interview from Steven Soderbergh, using an interview recorded just hours before Lennon’s assassination.
