Red Road

One of those relentlessly bleak British films that Charlie Brooker so memorably caricatured as "Concrete and Piss". Jackie a CCTV operator starts stalking an ex-con around the tower blocks of Glasgow. Without much dialogue the film gradually reveals her motives, slowly building a complex picture of a very real character. All the while she finds out more about her target, he changes from a picture on a fuzzy surveilance screen into a real person leading Jackie to question her actions. All this is handled with skill and assurance and the camera work is breath takingly bleak, but the film didn't quite work for me, it felt more like a TV drama than a cinematic experience. Worth a watch if your in the mood for something depressing though.
