FILM: FIVE BEST REVIVALS
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.

Fellini double bill (Riverside, Sun)
Recommended not so much for Juliet of the Spirits as for 8 /2, Fellini's glorious masterpiece, and a film without which cinema history would be considerably poorer. See it in time for Peter Greenaway's forthcoming tribute, 8 /2 Women.

Raindance festival (Metro, continuing)
London's festival of low-budget independent film-making showcases numerous shorts and experimental features for the adventurous cinemagoer. Catch Isabella Rossellini in the promising drama Left Luggage (Wed).
3
Born to Boogie/Cracked Actor (NFT, Sun)
The NME at the NFT season continues with Born to Boogie, Ringo Starr's documentary on Marc Bolan and T Rex, and the unsettling Cracked Actor, which follows an emaciated David Bowie on tour in the 970s.
4
Dead Man/True Stories (Curzon Soho, Sun)
The newly-opened Curzon Soho has begun a series of Sunday brunch double-bills. This week: the wigged-out pairing of Jim Jarmusch's stoned western Dead Man and David Byrne's True Stories, a miniature Nashville.
5
William Friedkin season (NFT, continuing)
Friedkin has had a variable career but you couldn't accuse him of being boring. Re-evaluate The French Connection (Sun) and ponder whether his gay thriller Cruising (Tue) was homophobic or subversive or both.
