“Morvern Callar's' a really weird film, in a sense, where I was trying to experiment with taking things in a different direction, and it kind of half works and it half doesn't. And I kind of felt with that film that perhaps I should have pushed it more into the realms of black comedy slightly.”

Scottish filmmaker

Lynne Ramsay is a Scottish filmmaker known for a body of work that includes Ratcatcher, Morvern Callar, We Need to Talk About Kevin, You Were Never Really Here, and Die My Love. Her films have brought her numerous accolades. Her work often turns to children, young people, and mothers, and it returns again and again to grief, guilt, death, and what follows after loss. That focus gives her films a distinct emotional weight and an interest in the fragile lives of her characters.
