Ratcatcher: Scottland 1999 Dir: Lynne Ramsay

A Very good subtle, yet quiet, film. The vision the film presented and its deep message are one I was feeling fortunate to have seen. Lynne does an amazing storytelling job here and gets quite surprising performances from all her actors. I liked this film a lot and recommend it to all fans of foreign film.

P.S. I am in a Foreign Film Criticism class and will be posting all the films I see here. More on Ratcatcher later, anybody else here see it?


And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.
