Ratcatcher (1999)

James Gillespie is 12 years old. The world he knew is changing. Haunted by a secret, he has become a stranger in his own family. He is drawn to the canal where he creates a world of his own. He finds an awkward tenderness with Margaret Anne, a vulnerable 14 year old expressing a need for love in all the wrong ways, and befriends Kenny, who possesses an unusual innocence in spite of the harsh surroundings.

Really powerful "coming of age" story, set during the garbage strike in Glasgow in the 70s. Solid from start to finish with a powerful ending.

Diamond in the ruff kind of movie. Very interesting images and emotionally powerful. Story is similar to that of the film "George Washington" being that it involves a child who accidentally kills another friend.

You will find very few such films showing such a bleak picture of childhood. It is going to hit you hard and you are not going to forget it if you really have the feeling for it. The childhood is sensitive, undecided and misled. It is finding no support in the hapless social circumstance. I also felt that it is about the yearning for freedom, specifically I loved the scene where the balloon carries the mouse out. James also looks for this freedom, from the destitute society, and maybe even from his own sense of guilt. The ending is possibly the most heart-breaking it could be. It is a film hard to watch, but a lot harder to forget. It is a gem of coming of age cinema.

Gorgeous looking film, and a heart wrenching story.

Lynne Ramsay's cinema is a highly detailed, patiently meditative and psychologically portentous cinema. Ratcatcher, her first film, is one of the best debut films of all time because it is made with consummate skill: each shot is an in depth portrayal not only of the conditions of Glasgow in the 70s but also of the intricate mannerisms and phrases of children growing up in indifferent and unsanitary adult world.
