Cannes 2019 Day 9

A little perspective: our panel of critics (live at the American Pavillion!) on the films from this year’s festival that just may stand the test of time

We’re back from Cannes, this time with a recording of a live Film Comment Podcast event at the American Pavilion. Joining Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold on the stage were Deputy Director of Film at Lincoln Center Eugene Hernandez, FC contributing editor Amy Taubin, and FC contributor and critic Jonathan Romney. Cutting through the fog of “baguette overdose,” the four take a big-picture look at the festival and nominate the 2019 entries they believe will stand the test of time. The films discussed (and debated) include Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite, Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die, Robert Eggers’s The Lighthouse, Abel Ferrara’s Tomasso, Malick’s A Hidden Life, Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, and many, many more.

This story is part of the May-June 2019 issue of Film Comment.
