Red Rose Robert Burns Film Screening at the Odeon Cinema

26 January @ 1:30 pm

£9.50

Red Rose Film is a costume drama about the life and untimely death of Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet of all time. The film charts his rise to fame, his numerous love affairs, and the way his actions were to affect his family and career. Set at the time of the French Revolution, the poet finds himself embroiled in the debate about the human rights of the common people for whom his poems represented. His affair with a local aristocrat spiraled out of control, causing him to be denounced as a Republican Sympathiser of the French Revolution. Four years later he died at the age of 37. Systematically, Burns was ousted from polite society and reduced to poverty.

It is the first film to be made about Robert Burns in sixty years. To mark its 20th anniversary local Scottish writer and producer, Mairi Sutherland is attending the screening for a Question and Answer session about the making of the film. Over 20 authentic historical locations were used all over Ayrshire, associated with the life of Robert Burns, including Kilmarnock’s Dean Castle. The film has gained Awards over the years and continues to be watched on Burns night.
