Cover story: Red Road
Every fortnight we get sent a joyous overdose of entertainment in the form of books, films, music and much more besides. But it’s not often that we come across something as intelligent, entertaining or downright gripping as Andrea Arnold’s new film, Red Road. It’s best described as an arthouse thriller, but don’t be put off: this is the finest British film of the year. If that’s not enough to tempt you down to your local cinema, we’d go so far as to say that it’s probably the best British film of the century so far. And, dammit, it’s Scottish too. We love this film so much that we’ve interviewed the director and all the actors for this issue.
Go and see Red Road: you’ll love it too. Find out more on page 18.
