The Red Riding Trilogy

Studio: IFC Films
Director: Julian Jarrold, James Marsh, Anand Tucker
Screenwriter: Tony Grisoni
Starring: Andrew Garfield, Paddy Considine, David Morrissey, Rebecca Hall, Peter Mullan, Sean Bean
Genre: Drama, Thriller

Plot Summary: A neo-noir epic based on horrific, factual events and adapted from David Peace's series of novels revolving around the manhunt for the "Yorkshire Ripper," a serial killer who terrorized northwest England in the 1970's and 1980's.

"Red Riding: 1974" (Julian Jarrold) 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. (105 min.)

"Red Riding: 1980" (James Marsh) 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. (96 min.)

"Red Riding: 1983" (Anand Tucker) 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 '70s—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. (104 min.)

Starring: Jakob Cedergren, Lene Maria Christensen, Kim Bodnia, Lars Brygmann, Anders Hove, Jens Jørn Spottag, Henrik Lykkegaard

Official Website: Oscilloscope.net

Plot Summary: Robert Hanson (Jakob Cedergren) is a Copenhagen police officer who, following a nervous breakdown, is transferred to a small provincial town to take on the mysteriously vacated Marshall position and subsequently gets mixed up with a married femme fatale. Robert’s big city temperament makes it impossible for him to fit in, or understand the uncivilized, bizarre behavior displayed by the townspeople. Quickly spiraling downward into an intense fable blending cutting edge dark humor with classic noir elements, "Terribly Happy" displays a unique, often macabre vision of the darkest depths to which people will go to achieve a sense of security and belonging.
