Red Road's Blurbs |
About me:
An atmospheric and intense thriller about pain and retribution which finds Jackie, a Glasgow CCTV (surveillance) operator watching over a small part of the world, protecting the people living their lives under her gaze. One day a man appears on her monitor, a man she thought she would never see again, a man she never wanted to see again. Now she has no choice, she is compelled to confront him.
RED ROAD is the first film to be produced under the Advance Party Concept. Advance Party involves three directors developing scripts around the same group of characters. The films take place in Scotland but apart from that the writers are free to place the characters anywhere according to geography, social setting or ethnic background. The characters back-stories can be expanded, family relations can be created between them, they can be given habits good or bad, and secondary characters can be added if it is proper for the individual film. All of the characters must appear in all of the films. The various parts will be cast with the same actors in the same parts in all of the films. Advance Party is the Dogme-inflected brainchild of Lone Scherfig and Anders Thomas Jensen, employees of Danish co-producer Zentropa.
RED ROAD stars Kate Dickie ("Tinsel Town" BAFTA Award Winner for Best Performance (Scotland), Tony Curran (THE GOOD GERMAN), Martin Compton (Ken Loach's SWEET SIXTEEN, A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS) and Natalie Press (MY SUMMER OF LOVE).
RED ROAD is director Andrea Arnold's feature film debut. Her shorts "Milk" (1998) and "Dog" (2001) were selected for competition in Cannes (International Critics Week) and "Wasp," (2003) which won the Academy Award for Live Action Short in 2005 was described by the Guardian as 'social realist film poetry.' The film won an additional 37 international awards and garnered Arnold the attention of the Advance Party.
