Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.WHAT BETTER way to repair the damage done by Damage than to recall the brilliance of director Louis Malle's early career? And with it, the work that Malle coaxed out of his stars, notably Jeanne Moreau (above, with Jean-Marc Bory in Les Amants) and Maurice Ronet, together in Lift to the Scaffold (PG; 1958), singly in Les Amants (15; 1958) and Le Feu Follet (15; 1963); or his widely differing approaches to the favourite subject of growing up, from the comic fantasy of Zazie dans le Metro (15; 1960) to the sexual longings of Le Souffle au Coeur (18; 1971).
By 4 July all five films will have been released on video ( pounds 15.99 each) by Electric Pictures, as part of its 'Louis Malle Collection'; but we have 15 sets of all five videos and 15 copies of Malle on Malle (Faber & Faber, pounds 14.99), a collection of interviews edited by Philip French, to give away. To enter, simply answer the following question:
Zazie dans le Metro is taken from a novel by which French writer?
Answers, on a postcard, to: Malle, Arts Desk, 'Independent on Sunday', 40 City Rd, London EC1Y 2DB, by Fri 24 June. Usual competition rules apply; the editor's decision is final.
