In the Hood
A Prophet
Three directors tackle the Yorkshire Ripper in the Red Riding trilogy.
The Red Riding trilogy, adapted from a series of novels by David Pearce, offers some of the satisfactions of its more costly cousins; it's not a heroic coming-of-age tale but a dense, sprawling tapestry that finds its way into every dark and seamy corner of the north of England.
A Prophet
City Paper Grade: B
Set largely in a French cell block, Jacques Audiard's A Prophet is less a film noir than gris, its scuffed-up surfaces suggesting a world where everything and everyone is just about spent.
