Ep. 394: Eric Hynes on Cannes 2026: Fatherland, Parallel Tales, In Waves, The Match Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The 2026 Cannes Film Festival is underway, and I was delighted to sit down with Eric Hynes, critic and director of film curation and programming at the Jacob Burns Film Center. We discussed a few titles from the first days of the festival: Fatherland (directed by Pawel Pawlikowski, starring Sandra Hüller and Hans Zischler), Parallel Tales (Asghar Farhadi, starring Isabelle Huppert, Virginie Efira, Vincent Cassel, Adam Bessa), In Waves (Phuong Mai Nguyen), and the 1986 World Cup documentary The Match (Juan Cabral and Santiago Franco).
