The Sunday Preview: From hostage to kidnapper, in one easy move
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.THE NEXT in our series of film previews for readers is a movie with a real difference: it's British. Or rather Anglo-Irish. It's The Crying Game, directed by Neil Jordan and produced by Stephen Woolley - the team that made Mona Lisa and The Company of Wolves. Stephen Rea (above), fresh from his stage success as a hostage in Someone Who'll Watch over Me, plays a kidnapper, an IRA man with a
conscience. Forest Whitaker is his hostage, a soldier. Miranda Richardson is Rea's accomplice; Jaye Davidson the soldier's girlfriend. The setting ranges from Belfast to Belgravia. The producers call the film 'a love story, a biting satire and an ingenious thriller'. Judge for yourself at our screening at the Curzon West End, next Sunday at 11am. A pair of tickets to the first 170 readers to send an SAE to: Jordan, Arts Desk, Independent on Sunday, 40 City Rd, London EC1Y 2DB. Unused stamps will be given to charity. The Crying Game (18) opens on 30 Oct at the Curzon West End, MGMs Trocadero and Fulham Rd, Camden Plaza and UCI Whiteleys.
