Ratcatcher (1999)
<div><i>Part of <a href="https://www.screeningroomkingston.com/bleak-week/">Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair</a>, a weeklong festival spotlighting some of the greatest films from around the world that explore the darkest sides of humanity.</i></div><div><br></div>Lynne Ramsay's haunting debut is set during the Glasgow refuse workers' strike of 1973, in a landscape of overflowing bins, stagnant water, and childhoods with no runway ahead of them. At the centre is twelve-year-old James, carrying a private burden through a world that offers him little protection and fewer ways out. A film that announced one of British cinema's most distinctive voices — Ramsay renders poverty not as background but as atmosphere, ordinary and inescapable, influencing a generation of filmmakers who learned from her that restraint can be its own form of devastation.DramaPT1H34MRated 14A2026-06-14William Eadie
