Focus on Lynne Ramsay

  • Film
  • Entertainment

From the outset of her career, Lynne Ramsay deployed a subjective-driven worldview that was more interested in capturing a protagonist's psychological state, while leaning heavily into cinema as a sensory experience.

Her evocative, fragmented mood pieces define some of her most immersive works. From Morvern Callar (2002) to We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) and You Were Never Really Here (2017), Ramsay is adept at getting inside the heads of her characters while drawing the audience into a world that is at times euphoric, mysterious and terrifying.

This focus season brings together her celebrated films with works that inspired her, or that are in dialogue with her immersive, sensory way of seeing.
