Fri 11 Nov 2006Night WatchReviewed - Red Road: ENGLISH writer-director Andrea Arnold, who won the best short film Oscar two years ago for Wasp, makes an astonishing full-scale debut with Red Road, the only feature from a first-time director selected for competition at Cannes this year, where it took a runner-up prize.Set in Glasgow, Red Road features a thoroughly intriguing performance from Kate Dickie as Jackie, a lonely woman watching the world go by in her job as a CCTV operator for a private security firm. When one of her monitors shows a couple having alfresco sex in the city's rundown Red Road area, she is shocked to recognise the man (Tony Curran) and to realise that he has been released from prison.
