THE RED RIDING TRILOGY
March 19 - March 28, 2010
March 19 - March 28, 2010
This is very interesting. Based on actual (gruesome) events, the producers of this saga decided, rather than making one bloated film, to hire three different filmmakers to product all three parts of a trilogy separately but simultaneously. The DFT will be presenting all three movies in ass-melting succession, or you can see the chapters individually, at any showing during the run.
One of the year’s most audacious cinematic events, The Red Riding Triolgy was adapted for British television from David Peace’s superb series of crime novels about the hunt for the “Yorkshire Ripper,” a serial killer who terrorized England in the 1970s and 80s. Though they all share the same screenwriter, each of these three interlocking tales deals with a different year in the search for the killer, and each of the three directors uses his own unique cinematic style to bring the story to the screen. While the three films stand on their own as bravura crime dramas, seeing the entire trilogy in sequence provides one of the richest and most memorable film noir experiences in modern cinema.
"Visionary filmmaking. Mammoth, sensationally violent and beautiful, The Red Riding Trilogy is a thrilling experience." -David Denby, The New Yorker
