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."I GO where I will and I do as I please. That's why I'm in trouble," quips the braying, braggart title character of Henry Fool (left), so kicking off Hal Hartley's most wild, witty and perfectly sustained film to date. Nominally about a lowly garbageman (James Urbaniak) who writes a masterpiece, chiefly about art, integrity and inspiration, Henry Fool steers its own oddball course throughout. It takes in some startling sights along the way.
On general release
Buttoners, playing at the London Film Festival, is a queer critter from the Czech Republic. Director Petr Zelenka strings together a daisy-chain of six (count 'em) stories stretching from Forties Hiroshima to present- day Prague. A thick band of lugubrious black humour connects its disparate, mercurial strands.
