GOING OUT / Stuntman makes star look good, and star returns compliment
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.BEHIND the sheen of the movies lies a lot of hanging around. 'Some knit,' says Jeff Bridges, the quietly excellent star of Jagged Edge and Texasville: 'I take pictures.' The pictures he takes capture the making of the pictures he makes. His camera is a Widelux, giving a frame like a cinema screen. Bridges uses it to juxtapose different worlds. As David Thomson said when he reviewed Bridges' first exhibition, in Santa Monica last year: 'he keeps the glamorous intensity of the story and the untidy process that makes it in one sweep'. Now the show is coming here. Meanwhile, Bridges has been seen in Fearless, and on its poster, apparently poised to jump off a skyscraper. In fact, it was a stuntman; Bridges was there too, but only to press the shutter. The result was 'Gil Combs Making Me Look Good', above.
