IFC Films and MPI Media Group has announced The Red Riding Trilogy will arrive on DVD and Blu-ray on August 17th for the suggested retail price of $29.98 and $34.98.
Based on events that occurred over a turbulent decade in the West Riding district of Yorkshire, England, The Red Riding Trilogy presents a dark and disturbing world of serial murders, child abductions and police corruption.
The three films in The Red Riding Trilogy are connected by recurring events and characters, chiefly a deeply conflicted police detective, Maurice Jobson (David Morrissey, The Other Boleyn Girl, Sense and Sensibility), and ruthless high-ranking official Harold Angus (Jim Carter, Alice in Wonderland, Shakespeare in Love).
Three directors utilize a different method for each film – Julian Jarrold (Become Jane) shoots in 16 mm film for 1974; James Marsh (Man on Wire), in 35 mm for 1980; and Anand Tucker (Leap Year, Shopgirl), in digital video for 1983.
In the end, they’ve created a modern crime epic in which no one escapes undamaged.
