Scotland w/d Andrea Arnold
Her first film and it's a doozy. She combines the intricacies of the all-seeing surveillance state with a deep personal grudge and comes up with a thriller that makes us squirm, keeps us on edge, intrigues and, finally, satisfies.
Our protagonist works in Glasgow's surveillance headquarters. Her job is to find trouble in the city and direct police/medical units to wherever they're needed quickly. The man who killed her family in an accident has been released from prison; she tracks his movements obsessively, insinuates herself into his life...for what purpose?
Compelling in-your-face film that never lets up. Nice work.
