About Dark Red Roses
David Cardew, a talented sculptor, lives an idyllic life in the English countryside with his wife, Laura, and their two children.

The three attend a fête where David watches Anton and Laura during a ballet about brutal and violent revenge - and his obsession begins to take an even darker turn....
Directed by Sinclair Hill, Dark Red Roses leans on a strong ensemble — Stewart Rome, Frances Doble, Hugh Morton — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1929.
