Lynne Ramsay Screen Talk | BFI London Film Festival 2025
Lynne Ramsay discusses her singular career populated by visually intoxicating, ground-breaking and provocative films.
Overview
Since her striking 1999 feature debut Ratcatcher, Lynne Ramsay has forged a singular career. Visually intoxicating, her films are detailed character studies of individuals with inner and outer lives in a constant state of flux. Probing her subject’s psychology to an extraordinary depth, Ramsay has drawn many fine performances from her actors while creating minutely 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. Hosted by film critic and broadcaster Danny Leigh as part of LFF for Free at the 2025 BFI London Film Festival. Contains strong language.
