Independent Recommends: Film
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.

YOU ONLY have one more week to catch the most original film currently on show in London. Majorettes in Space: Five Gay Tales from France showcases exciting work from young French directors, the best of it by Francois Ozon, represented by two shorts: A Little Death is the affecting story of a photographer who finds an unusual way of bonding with his dying father; the very funny A Summer Dress concerns a teenager bored with his boyfriend's "stupid fag songs". Ozon is a compassionate, hugely talented artist - look out for the first showing of his debut feature, a black comedy called Sitcom, at the Edinburgh Film Festival on Monday.

Hitchcock's Psycho (above) now looks like a textbook lesson in how to pre-empt, manipulate and booby-trap an audience's expectations. The first part of the movie is my favourite - the sense of barely sustained banality beneath which immoral acts are being conceived.
