Synopsis
Morvern Callar is a 21-year-old supermarket worker from a small port town in the West of Scotland. Morvern believes that life is something that you get on with, as best you can and with what you've got. One morning Morvern finds that what she's got is a dead boyfriend on the kitchen floor. Extraordinarily, she doesn't tell anyone and this and her subsequent choices propel her on a journey that transforms her life. Lynne Ramsay's debut feature Ratcatcher screened at Cannes in Un Certain Regard and went on to open the Edinburgh International Film Festival where Ramsay received the Guardian New Directors prize. She also won the Carl Foreman Award for Best Newcomer in British Film at the 2000 BAFTA Awards, the Sutherland Trophy at the London Film Festival and the Silver Hugo for Best Director at the Chicago International Film Festival.

Customer Reviews

subtely stunning
This is not the film nor stills from the film, these images lie beyond, before and between Lynne Ramseys Morvern Caller. Beautiful images in there own right and unique to the photographer; Deblondes experience - ambiguous and un-pigeon holed, stipped down and simple. This book is one to own, and, I believe, with the increasing success of Lynne Ramseys films is sure to be a collectable in the future.
