In her breathtaking debut feature, Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here) creates a haunting evocation of a troubled Glasgow childhood. Set during the national garbage strike of the mid-1970s, Ratcatcher explores the experiences of a poor adolescent boy as he struggles to reconcile his dreams and his guilt with the squalor that surrounds him. With beautiful, elusive imagery, candid performances, and unexpected humor, Ramsay deftly contrasts urban decay with a rich interior landscape of hope and perseverance, resulting in a work at once raw and deeply poetic.
