Lynne Ramsay
Born: 1969
Whether it's morning sun coming through a gauze curtain, or the drip of blood onto ice cream, Ramsay's world is alive with light and forms, colours and shapes; she finds beauty in the most mundane - or tragic - of circumstances. Lyrical and grim, in the tradition of Terence Davies, Bill Douglas and Bresson, her first 3 shorts showed a fully-formed, intensely visual sensibility, thanks partly to her regular film-school collaborators, especially editor Lucia Zucchetti. Her debut feature, Ratcatcher, was one of the films of the 1990s and the most electrifying (if under-played) of debuts. Since then, Ramsay's cropped her hair, dyed it red, and is working on another feature, Morvern Callar.
