Cinema Barakat Presents: Red Road

Jackie works in a security-camera control room monitoring the neighborhoods of Glasgow. One day, she thinks she recognizes Clyde on one of the screens—the man responsible for the tragedy that befell her life. She decides to get close to him in order to take revenge.

Already in her first film, the distinctive style that characterizes Andrea Arnold’s cinema (Fish Tank, Bird) is evident: the design of a space that combines attraction and anxiety, and a focus on a female character seeking to free herself from social and internal constraints.
