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.For a truer, if more delicate, frisson of horror, Londoners should seek out the re-release of La Femme Infidele (1968), now showing at the Barbican in London, one of Claude Chabrol's more accomplished, if slow- burning tales of adultery and murder. Some critics claim that it was with this film that Chabrol finally assimilated the lessons of his master, Hitchcock: the disposal-of-the-corpse sequence certainly piles on the comic agony in the best tradition.
