YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE

A missing teenage girl. A brutal and tormented enforcer on a rescue mission. Corrupt power and vengeance unleash a storm of violence...

Born in Glasgow, Lynne Ramsay is considered one of the British most original and exciting voices working in Independent cinema today. She has a long running relationship with Cannes winning the Prix de Jury in 1996 for her graduation film, the short Small Deaths and in 1998 for her short Gasman. Her debut feature film Ratcatcher premiered in Un Certain Regard (2000) winning Special Mention. We need to talk about Kevin was the only British film nominated for the Palm d'Or in official competition in 2011. It received several BAFTA nominations and won 'Best Director' at the British independent Film awards, and 'Best film' at London Film Festival. Lynne Ramsay's short film Swimmer commissioned by the Cultural Olympiad of Great Britain (2012) won the BAFTA (2013) for Best short film.

 

Following her marvelous Kevin (...), Here extends Ramsay’s highly idiosyncratic style of literary adaptation, in which the written word is taken as a half-erased foundation for a more impressionistic, sensory evocation of the psyche at hand.
