Glaswegian auteur Lynne Ramsay announced herself as an exciting talent with this sublime, yet sorrowful coming-of-age story set during the city’s rubbish strikes. Contrasting grime and grimness with striking, surreal imagery, the lineage of Ramsay’s visually arresting style and ability to locate hope amid hellishness is clear to see.
