Red Road is a really, really good film.
But is it the right choice to make the jump to high definition?
Jackie (Kate Dickie) leads a disappointing life as a CCTV operative in Glasgow.
Shes estranged from her family and has acquaintances, but few real friends.
Though seemingly lonely, Jackie doesnt seem to mind her existence.
She doesnt appear to be depressed or overly emotional, she just seems disconnected from the world around her.
Jackie is pretty much relentless in her obsession and, it turns out, with good reason.
She goes to Clydes party and they talk without him knowing who she is.
However, it is a powerful and original film that captivates and is thought provoking.
There are 12 minutes of interviews with cast and crew, including the director/writer, Andrea Arnold.
They are presented in standard definition and appear to be part of an electronic press kit.
It would have been nice to hear her in a commentary.
Behind the Scenes is one minute of B-roll footage showing the set up of two scenes.
