The 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.

Could it be Shekhar Kapur's showy direction, or the eccentric casting (costume stalwarts John Gielgud and David Attenborough rub shoulders with the likes of Angus Deayton and Eric Cantona)? Or, perhaps, it's simply down to Cate Blanchett's peerless lead turn; morphing down the years from a waifish hippy chick to a forbidding powder-caked goth.
On general release
Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samourai is a film of louche, chill surfaces, its existential plotline played out in a sleek Sixties Paris. Alain Delon's impassive hitman - ice-chip eyes below a wide-brimmed fedora - became an instant icon of gangster cool
