In desperation at his antisocial behaviour, the mother of the French new wave pioneer sent him to work in ‘purgatory’. It was to inspire Operation Concrete, Godard’s only documentary

When Jean-Luc Godard’s debut feature, Breathless, exploded on to cinema screens in 1960, it was heralded as an instant classic. However, his directorial career did not start with Breathless, but rather five years earlier with Operation Concrete, a remarkable documentary with an even more poignant backstory.

In 1953, when Godard’s mother, Odile, sent him to work as a labourer on the construction of the Grande Dixence dam in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, it represented a desperate last throw of the dice for her wayward 22-year-old kleptomaniac son.

Posters to appear on Elizabeth line asking passengers to be considerate and not play music or videos out loud

Flavours of Brazil combine with Lebanese and Italian influences in these deliciously untraditional dishes

Lebanese food is my go-to when I’m back in Brazil and I need a break from Brazilian food. My favourite Lebanese restaurant in Rio de Janeiro, Basha, makes the most incredible meat-stuffed cabbage rolls, charutos Libanais (which means Lebanese cigars and is the Portuguese name for the dish malfouf). They are served in a fragrant tomato broth and come with pimenta caseira (homemade hot sauce) and lime wedges to squeeze over, in a beautiful union of Lebanese and Brazilian cuisine that inspired today’s first dish.
