The Independent has positioned itself as a vital source of journalism during critical moments in U.S. history, addressing major social issues like reproductive rights and climate change. Through donations, they sustain their field reporting, ensuring that diverse perspectives are represented without paywalls, aiming to make quality journalism accessible to all. The article also discusses Richard Linklater's debut of "Nouvelle Vague" at Cannes, a film celebrating the French New Waveâs legacy, which was surprisingly well-received at the festival despite Linklater's initial reservations about its reception in France.
"I thought: They'll hate that an American director did this," Linklater said. "We'll show this film all over the world, but never in France."
Nouvelle Vague is an uncanny kind of recreation. In black-and-white and in the style of the French New Wave, it chronicles the making of one of the most celebrated French films of all time.
At a Cannes that's been largely characterized by darker, more portentous dramas, Nouvelle Vague was cheered as an enchanting ode to moviemaking.
It was, Linklater granted, an audacious thing to do. And Nouvelle Vague went down as one of the biggest successes of the festival.
