Ep. 208: Amy Taubin on the New York Film Festival 2023

Ep. 208: Amy Taubin on the New York Film Festival 2023 Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. This year, the 61st New York Film Festival curated a notably strong selection of films drawn from other festivals as well as a few premieres of its own. To discuss her critical highlights, I was delighted to welcome back the one and only Amy Taubin (whose report on this edition appears in Artforum). Among the films discussed are Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border, May December (Todd Haynes), Close Your Eyes (Victor Erice), Jean-Luc Godard’s final film, Poor Things (Yorgos Lanthimos), Janet Planet (Annie Baker), Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project (Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson), Menus-Plaisirs: Les Troisgros (Frederick Wiseman), and The Sweet East (Sean Price Williams).
