The Independent Recommends: Film
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.MOVIE VIOLENCE - Michael Haneke lectures us - is bad, irresponsible, wrong. At its worst, his Funny Games (left) views like some crude school- instruction film (fourth-form Humanities, double-period). At its best, the cast-iron plotting and sharp depiction of senseless, casual evil takes the breath away. It's a film which triggers conflicting and volatile responses.
On general release
Should you have tickets for the London Film Festival's sold-out opening night, the shindig kicks off at 10pm, Odeon Leicester Square, with Mark Herman's Little Voice. Otherwise, try Ways of Seeing, part of the ongoing Underground America season, which spotlights a sometimes sublime, sometimes ridiculous cross-section of artsy, avant-garde shorts from the Fifties and Sixties.
Lux Cinema, London N1 (0171-684 0201) 7pm
