Oscar-winning writer-director Andrea Arnold's debut feature is an astonishingly accomplished drama about obsession and revenge.
Jackie works as a CCTV operator. Each day she watches over a small part of the world, protecting the people living their lives under her gaze. One day a man appears on her monitor whom she thought she would never see again - whom she never wanted to see again. She feels compelled to confront him.
Winner of the much-deserved Prix du Jury at Cannes, a BAFTA and Best First Feature at London Film Festival, 'Red Road' offers a sharp observation on the CCTV environment in which we live, and at times an unbearably raw account of tragedy and grief, beautifully rendered by faultless performances.
