LYNNE RAMSAY

FILMS Ratcatcher, Movern Callar, We Need To Talk About Kevin, You Were Never Really Here

AUTEUR THEORY With only four films in 22 years, Ramsay has established herself as one of the most original voices in cinema, forging studies of past trauma, guilt and grief that are at once brutal and beautiful. Dislocation is key: psychological, societal, familial. Her nightmare narratives are grounded in realism but a surreal flash or a flourish of magical realism is never far away.

UP NEXT Currently writing several projects, including “an epic environmental horror”. AWARDS Two BAFTAs: Best Short Film (Swimmer),

Most Promising Newcomer (Ratcatcher); Five more

BAFTA nominations.

“I’ve found that filmmaking’s not just a job, it becomes part of your whole life.”
