Red Riding Trilogy

This acclaimed British trilogy is a condensed version of David Peace’s quartet of cult-noir novels. While largely a fictionalized account of the Yorkshire Ripper’s murderous rampage against women and young girls in the 1970’s and ‘80’s, the films effectively mix fact and fiction while exploring police corruption and the modern city’s seedy underbelly. Each film was made with a different director, but Tony Grisoni, known in part for his work with Terry Gilliam, adapted and wrote all three. After screening on British TV, the trilogy has become a unlikely darling of the festival circuit, and negotiations are already underway for an American remake directed by Ridley Scott.
