Episode 53: Amy Taubin on Todd Haynes's The Velvet Underground, Warhol's Factory, and Cannes 2021 The Last Thing I Saw

- TV & Film
Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The Cannes Film Festival kicked off this week and so I joined forces with critic Amy Taubin, who is a veteran of the festival. This year Cannes is a little different for a number of reasons, which we talk about, but we also discuss the new film about The Velvet Underground from director Todd Haynes. Amy is actually in the documentary, and she was kind enough to share some of her firsthand experiences at the time with the Velvet Underground, Andy Warhol, and of course Warhol's Screen Tests, many of which appear in Haynes’s film.
