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.This bizarre phantasmagoria from experimental duo the Brothers Quay trails a small armada of influences, from Borges to Shakespeare, from Czech puppeteer Jan Svankmajer to René Magritte, yet its theatrical energy is stymied by some atrocious acting and a script that seems barely acquainted with the English language.
An opera singer (Amira Casar) is abducted by an evil inventor (Gottfried John), who then hires a piano tuner (Cesar Sarachu) to service his automata in preparation for an "opera diabolique". Only a masochist could enjoy its interminable longueurs.
