Red Road (2006)

Posted on 05:55 by uthpa
Highly Recommended
UK/Denmark
Feature Film
Director: Andrea Arnold
Writers: Andrea Arnold, Anders Thomas Jensen, Lone Scherfig
Cinematographer: Robbie Ryan
Cast: Kate Dickie, Tony Curran, Martin Compston, Natalie Press

Arnold’s feature debut – a devastatingly moving thriller (one sequence is guaranteed to crush even the hardest of hearts), the first part of a prospective British/Danish co-produced trilogy, involving the same group of charcters and settings – is a brilliant, downbeat, and intensely human thriller (of sorts), set in a decidedly rough area of Glasgow, in which Dickie’s cctv operator becomes dangerously involved with a man from her past, whom she spies during the course of her daily duties.
