Lynne Ramsay is famed for having one of the most uncompromising voices in cinema. Her films are sensorial, intimate and unmistakably Lynne’s, as characterised by unknowable characters and spartan design.
Lynne’s debut feature ‘Ratcatcher’ was unveiled at Cannes Film Festival (1999) before winning a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut. Her follow-up ‘Morvern Callar’ – a ‘forgotten gem of British cinema’ – was voted 2nd Best British Film of the 21st Century by leading critics.
Major success then came via ‘We Need To Talk About Kevin’, starring Tilda Swinton, which wowed critics at Cannes, and was nominated for three BAFTAs and a Golden Globe. Lynne’s Joaquin Phoenix-starring follow up ‘You Were Never Really Here’ won Best Actor and Screenplay at Cannes.
In the commercial realm, she helmed ‘The Future Dies’ for The UN and ‘Brigitte’ for Miu Miu.
Lynne is currently in post-production on ‘Die, My Love’, a Jennifer Lawrence-starring black comedy.
