Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term or phrase:
seule la volonté du réalisateur
English translation:
at the sole discretion of the filmmaker
French term
United Kingdom
la volonté du réalisateur
détermine si son oeuvre est achevée ou non.
In this context, would 'intent' or 'wish' be the best way to translate this. 'Will' seems slightly strange here but grateful for the input of any legal translators out there!
This relates to:Loi de 58 sur la propriété artistique

Proposed translations

Having more time to ponder this question, I don't know how "intention" is going to fit here.
volonté = wish = discretion (more natural way to express this idea in English IN this particular context)
seule = sole
I hope this helps.

: After giving this more thought, I don't see how "intention/intent" could work here, either (unless I'm missing something, which is sometimes the case LOL).
