The Sunday Boston Globe, on Feb 14, had an article regarding "Red Riding," "the dark and brooding English film trilogy," that will be opening in the Boston area on the 19th. The article explains that "Riding" refers to the West Riding, part of Yorkshire, and time and place are crucial to the trilogy.  The film titles: "Red Riding 1974," "Red Riding 1980." and "red Riding 1983," make that plain. It identity's the genesis of this trilogy as being based upon a quartet of novels by David Peace,  "Red Riding" mixes fact and fiction. Being the son of a West Riding son, dad was born in Halifax, the review presents it as "a claustral epic, moving back and forth between wind-swept moors and windowless interrogation rooms". Now, to get to my interest, as my family roots began in the Huddersfield area prior to moving up to Halifax, do the external shots show scenes encompassing these two geographical areas?

And if you're after seeing old photographs of the areas, I can always recommend the Francis Frith website. The link here should take you to a page already set up for Halifax. Just enter other place names into the search field to see if they hold any old shots. http://www.francisfrith.com/halifax/ Regards, Sally ---------------------------------------- > Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:21:45 +0000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [WRY] Red Riding > > Another link with info about the trilogy > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Riding > Heather
