The Independent Recommends: Film
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.INSOMNIACS OF the world unite. Starting this evening at London's wonderfully seamy Prince Charles cinema is the Primal Screen 48-hour movie marathon bringing together surprise previews and cult favourites. I'm not suggesting that you stay for the whole thing - surely watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off at 7 on Sunday morning (or any other time of the day or night for that matter) is nobody's idea of a good time. But there are treats here that you might like to find time to dip into, should they correspond with your weekend schedule. Opening proceedings tonight is a preview of the gritty, acclaimed directorial debut by Vincent Gallo (above), Buffalo 66. Then the bill disappears into the wee small hours with a handful of splendid science-fiction, including Bruce Dern in the pensive Silent Running, not to mention John Carpenter's splendid stoned comedy Dark Star, which should put old Red Dwarf fans firmly in their place. That takes us up to Saturday morning, when a brief interval will allow time for breakfast. Details on the Saturday/Sunday bill tomorrow.
Prince Charles Cinema, London WC2 (0171-0437 8181) tonight, 8.30pm
