FILM: THE 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.

To Have and Have Not (Riverside, Mon, 8.45pm)
Chiefly remembered for bringing Bogart together with Bacall, this Caribbean-set classic throws together a tart salad of leaky boats, scowling Nazis and tragi-comic drunks. Hoagy Carmichael's piano provides the dressing.

Viridiana (Riverside, Wed, 9pm)
One of Bunuel's best: a brilliantly black and strange bit of low- life pageantry, made in his native Spain and instantly banned by a horrified Franco.
3
Last Tango in Paris (Phoenix, tomorrow, 4.5pm)
Marlon Brando butters up Maria Schneider in Bertolucci's sweaty, seedy Left Bank psychodrama. A highlight of 970s cinema.
4
Rebecca (Phoenix, tomorrow, 3.20pm)
Hitchcock's first Hollywood outing is a high-camp Gothic melodrama culled from Daphne DuMaurier's pot-boiling novel. Joan Fonteine is the hapless wife number two, preyed on by Judith Anderson's death's-head housekeeper.

8/2 (NFT, Wed, 7.30pm)
Swooned over at the time of its release, though somewhat faded by the intervening three-and-a-half decades, Federico Fellini's lush movie-about-movies is still a treat worth savouring.
