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.Any love story about pained longing at a train station will inevitably draw comparisons to classic David Lean/Noel Coward romance, Brief Encounter.
Stéphane Brizé's somewhat typical French relationship drama centres on builder Jean (Vincent Lindon), a contented family man thrown into romantic turmoil by his son's teacher Véronique Chambon (Sandrine Kiberlain). Brizé uses music to great emotional effect, augmenting the chemistry of the superbly acted would-be lovers. It's a film charged with great impact, and, before we know it, we're at that train station with a difficult choice being made before our eyes.
