Andrea Arnold
Red Road - As You Wish
Tension and obsession simmer in a haunting tale of past and revenge.
Jackie monitors CCTV screens in Glasgow, living a controlled and lonely life. When she spots a man connected to her past, she becomes fixated on confronting him. Their encounters reveal buried trauma and complex motives. The film builds tension through intimacy and emotional restraint. Arnold crafts a raw, quietly gripping drama.
Jackie werkt als surveillant achter beveiligingscamera’s en leidt een geïsoleerd bestaan. Wanneer ze een man uit haar verleden op haar monitors ziet, raakt ze geobsedeerd. Ze zoekt hem op en belandt in een zoektocht naar wraak, waarheid en heling. De film is rauw, intiem en vol spanning. Arnold onderzoekt verlies en controle met groot realisme.
