Mid-August Lunch (U)
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.Mid-August Lunch is a charmingly mellow little Italian comedy about a middle-aged bachelor (director Gianni Di Gregorio) who shares a cramped flat in Rome with his mother, and is persuaded to have three other old women to stay with them over the August bank holiday. Devoid of any crises more earth-shattering than the fishmonger's being closed, it slips down as easily as any of the hero's many glasses of white wine.
