## Resource

Cannes 2026 has arrived, and the Film Comment crew is on the ground, ready to cut through the noise with dispatches, interviews, Podcasts, a special Cannes Critics’ Grid, and much more. This year's edition is packed with highly anticipated premieres from Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, Valeska Grisebach, James Gray, Paweł Pawlikowski, and many more acclaimed filmmakers. On the second of our daily Podcasts from the Croisette, critics Katie McCabe ( Sight and Sound ) and Alison Willmore ( New York , Vulture) join FC editor Devika Girish to talk over their recent festival viewing. They begin with Pawlikowski’s highly anticipated Fatherland (3:20), before moving to Kôji Fukada’s subtle Nagi Notes (11:30), Asghar Farhadi’s surprisingly soapy Parallel Tales (19:56), and Maxence Voiseux’s documentary Gabin (27:30) before wrapping up by revisiting Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (31:52).
