For our final Podcast from the Croisette, FC Editor Devika Girish gathered three of our favorite critics—Justin Chang ( The New Yorker ), Tim Grierson ( Screen International ), and Jessica Kiang ( Variety )—to unpack the festival's final days. The group discussed three late-premiering Competition titles: Valeska Grisebach's Jury Prize–winning The Dreamed Adventure (4:00), Léa Mysius's The Birthday Party (21:58), and Lukas Dhont's Coward (35:09)—before turning to Ken Russell's newly restored The Devils (1971) (50:15), which screened in the Cannes Classics section.
