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.

Apocalypse Now (NFT, tomorrow, 8.5pm)
Farming Vietnam through Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Francis Coppola's jungle phantasmagoria trails Martin Sheen up river in search of Marlon Brando's gone-native US colonel.
2
Pickpocket (Cine Lumiere, Wed, 6.30pm)
More from Bresson - a metaphysical crime movie that's hard, harsh and humane in about equal doses. Bresson devotee Paul Schrader lifted its style when writing his script for Taxi Driver.
3
Annie Hall (NFT, tonight, 6.20pm)
Annie Hall's loose-limbed meditation on modern-day romance effectively sealed Woody Allen's reputation as Manhattan's comic-laureate.
4
Bullitt (Ritzy, tomorrow, 4.55pm)
The Steve McQueen pic par-excellence begins at full-throttle and then refuses to put on the brakes. So off we skid around the rollercoaster slopes of San Francisco for an adrenalised cop thriller often mimicked, seldom equalled.
5
Three Colours Trilogy (Richmond Filmhouse, tomorrow, .5pm, 3.45pm and 6.5pm)
Kieslowski's revered trio of French-flag themed features in one elongated stretch. Blue is a portentous drama, White a mordant comedy and Red is the best of the lot.
