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.Ever wondered what your soul might look like if it was extracted and stored in a jar?
When actor Paul Giamatti (played by the Sideways star himself) undergoes this high-tech procedure to alleviate the anxieties that plague his performance of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, he finds that his soul isn't quite what he expected. Despite this, Giamatti plans to reinstate it once he has survived the play, but he doesn't bargain on the Russian soul-trafficking ring that has taken a shine to his specimen. Giamatti's quest to get his soul back makes for an amusing journey into a surreal yet strangely believable world, and his tenderly witty performance perfectly complements this intriguing Charlie Kaufman-style debut from director Sophie Barthes.
