Red Road. Thursday, January 29th.

Director: Andrea Arnold / Year: 2006 / Color / Scottish (English) language / English subtitles /MPA rating: Not rated / Runtime: 113 min

“No one does poetic British with more remorseless hyper-realism than the Scots, and Arnold, who amassed a raft of reputable awards for her 2003 short film “Wasp,” directs with a precociously sure touch and a raw taste for graphic sexuality rare in a woman [director]. It shocks, yet feels organic to the paranoid, loveless milieu portrayed in Red Road.” Ella Taylor for Village Voice
