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.

Jean Reno and Gérard Depardieu, together at last! Not that this daft farce, from the screenwriter of La cage aux folles, is an obvious vehicle for France's biggest stars. Reno is an underworld killer who refuses to rat on his nasty boss. The authorities lock him up with Depardieu, a simple-minded thief who won't shut up, in the hope that sheer irritation will drive him to talk. It's decently constructed, with some amusing jokes, but very old-fashioned, like a Gallic remake of a Boulting Brothers comedy; I can imagine Peter Sellers and George Cole in the Reno and Depardieu parts.
