Cannes 2024 #3, with Jessica Kiang and Kelli Weston The Film Comment Podcast

Cannes 2024 has arrived—and our intrepid on-the-Croisette crew of Film Comment contributors is high-tailing it from screening to screening, ready to cut through the noise with a series of thoughtful dispatches, interviews, and podcasts.

For today’s episode, critics Kelli Weston and Jessica Kiang join Film Comment Editor Devika Girish to unpack three of the most highly anticipated premieres of the festival: Francis Ford Coppola’s operatic fable Megalopolis (2:55), Andrea Arnold’s magical realist Bird (27:25), and Yorgos Lanthimos’s macabre anthology film, Kinds of Kindness (50:00).
