Jackie (Dickie) keeps watch over a bank of monitors at a private security company providing surveillance for a rundown Glasgow housing complex. Her daily routines, like her job, are those of an observer—there's a sense she's merely going through the motions, until one day she is shocked to catch on camera a glimpse of Clyde (Curran), a man who has played a part in shaping her loneliness. His return, and her relentless interest in him, reveals a story of loss, revenge and redemption. Director Andrea Arnold has an acute eye and ear for detail, ensuring that there is humor to punctuate the film's dark sensuality and sense of foreboding. One of the most striking British feature debuts in years, Red Road is an assured, multi-layered slice of poetic realism and was recently celebrated at the Cannes Film Festival with its Jury Prize.
