Lynne Ramsay
Gear, December 2000 - January 2001
For
writing, directing and promoting Ratcatcher -- a deeply affecting
rites of passage movie that took her three years to make -- Lynne
Ramsay, 30, earned just $90,000. Set in 1970s Glasgow during a strike
by sanitation workers, the movie shouldn't work. That it does is
a mark of Ramsay's deeply lyrical, sensual style. For her next trick
she brings Alan Warner's cult Scottish novel, Morvern Caller,
to life.
