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.The catch of this Uruguayan horror film is its structure, one continuous shot that takes us through a perplexing tale of disturbance, murder and madness.
A portrait of a young man (Francesco Barilli) in early 1960s Parma who discovers he isn't driven enough to be a revolutionary – he has "a nostalgia for the present" – its storyline is desultory and maddeningly vague, unrelieved by its visual elegance. Adriana Asti as the young aunt the hero is in love with is touching, but the real fire in Bertolucci's work would come five years later, with his masterly The Conformist.
