CLICK HERE FOR FULL CALENDAR
The Red Riding Trilogy is one of this year’s great cinematic events. This taut, mesmerizing trilogy of films was adapted from David Peace’s series of novels about the “Yorkshire Ripper,” a serial killer who terrorized northwest England in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Each installment can be seen separately, yet the impact of all three together is simply overwhelming. Writen by Tony Grisoni, the films are based on the novels by David Peace.
Red Riding: 1974
Red Riding: 1974 centers on a rookie journalist, Eddie Dunford (Andrew Garfield) whose investigation of a series of child abductions leads him to suspect that there’s a terrifying connection between the perpetrators and the upper echelons of Yorkshire power.
Director: Julian Jarrold; 105 min.
Red Riding: 1980
Red Riding: 1980 finds the police and the public still baffled that the killer remains at large. A veteran police official, Peter Hunter (Paddy Considine), is called in from Manchester to take over the investigation, but his new theories about the case only incite growing opposition to his involvement. Director: James Marsh; 96 min.
Red Riding: 1983
Red Riding: 1983 starts with the kidnapping of another young girl. Detective Maurice Jobson (David Morrissey) notices a number of powerful similarities to the abduction cases he had investigated back in the Seventies—and for which a man was convicted and sentenced. Meanwhile, a reluctant local solicitor, John Piggott (Mark Addy), decides to take up the condemned man’s cause. Director: Anand Tucker; 104 min.
