Listen "Dispatch from Cannes (2025)"
Episode Synopsis
Reporting from the Croisette, host Hugo Emmerzael is joined by fellow film critic Savina Petkova who together reflect on two unforgettable selections from the 2025 Cannes Film Festival—films that stood apart amid a blur of screenings and industry spectacle.Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value, led by a luminous Renate Reinsve, is a quietly devastating meditation on memory, loss, and emotional inheritance. Meanwhile, Óliver Laxe's Sirat propels us into a dystopian rave-scape, where pulsing techno and stark imagery evoke a world on the brink of collapse.Together, Hugo and Savina unravel the layers of these two very different films, offering a glimpse into the bold cinema we can look forward to on screen at LAB111.
