FILM: THE FIVE BEST REVIVALS
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.

The Night of the Hunter (NFT, today, 6.30pm)
Conceived by creator Charles Laughton as "a nightmarish sort of Mother Goose tale", this Gothic spellbinder tracks Robert Mitchum's demonic preacher through a storybook American South.
2
Bicycle Thieves (Riverside, tomorrow, 8.0pm)
Shot like a documentary back in 948, Vittorio De Sica's guided tour of Rome's underbelly pioneered a new trend of Italian neorealism.
3
William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (Phoenix, tomorrow, .25pm)
The Bard gone bad. A gleeful exercise in cultural vandalism, Baz Luhrmann's Romeo riff has Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes' star-crossed lovers at large in a Day-Glo Mexico City.
4
The Manchurian Candidate (NFT, tomorrow, 7.30pm)
John Frankenheimer's 962 essay in Cold War paranoia tars the commies and the patriots with the self-same brush. Frank Sinatra makes an anguished piggy in the middle.
5
The Sweet Hereafter (Lux, Wed 7pm)
Atom Egoyan's best film to date. Based on the novel by Russell Banks, it's a haunting, mercurial study of a Canadian community turned upside-down by a tragic bus crash. Ian Holm's lawyer picks over the traces.
