Red Riding 1983 @ 7:00 pm

One of the year's most audacious cinematic events, The Red Riding Trilogy concerns the hunt for the “Yorkshire Ripper,” a serial killer who terrorized England in the 1970s and '80s. Though they all share the same screenwriter, each of these three interlocking tales deals with a different year in the investigation, and each of the three directors uses his own unique cinematic style to bring the story to the screen. While the three films stand on their own as bravura crime dramas, seeing the entire trilogy in sequence provides one of the richest and most memorable film noir experiences in modern cinema.

In 1974, a journalist searches for the truth in a complex maze of lies and deceit. In 1980, an investigator finds himself increasingly at odds with the official line. And in 1983, a new disappearance raises disturbing questions about past crimes. (Each film plays twice.
