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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Dream and reality overlap to unsettling effect in Dominik Moll's dark comedy of domestic rupture. Laurent Lucas and Charlotte Gainsbourg play a young married couple whose happiness together suddenly crumbles after an exquisitely horrible dinner party with Lucas's boss (André Dussollier) and his wife (Charlotte Rampling). Trouble is presaged by the discovery of a lemming in the sink waste pipe, then goes into overdrive when Rampling casts something like a witch's curse upon the hapless couple. Moll, hugging the implications of the story tight to his chest, doesn't conjure quite the ominous dread he did in Harry, He's Here To Help (2000), but his direction has an evenhanded cool that Hitchcock would have admired.
