Screen Talk: Lynne Ramsay

Since her striking 1999 feature debut Ratcatcher, Lynne Ramsay has forged a singular career in film. Visually intoxicating, her films are detailed character studies of individuals whose inner and outer lives exist in a constant state of flux. A filmmaker who probes the psychology of her subjects to an extraordinary depth, Ramsay has drawn some of the finest performances from her actors while creating infinitesimally detailed worlds around them. From capturing working-class Scottish life in the 1970s for her debut, she has delved into the life of a woman escaping her world in Morvern Callar, a mother grappling with unthinkable tragedy in We Need to Talk About Kevin, a deeply traumatised ex-serviceman seeking redemption in You Were Never Really Here, and now a young woman coping with life after giving birth in the stunning Die My Love.
