Ratcatcher 4K Restoration – 25th Anniversary

Directed by Lynne Ramsay

Set in Glasgow during the mid 70s, Ratcatcher is seen through the eyes of twelve-year-old James Gillespie, a young boy haunted by a secret.

Feeling increasingly distant from his family, his only escape comes with the discovery of a new housing development on the outskirts of town where he has the freedom to lose himself in his own world.

Enticed by a local gang of older boys, James is thrown together with vulnerable fourteen-year-old Margaret Anne and the pair strike up an unlikely friendship which becomes their hesitant but touching experience of first love.

Lynne Ramsay’s assured and captivating debut feature returns to cinemas for its 25th anniversary in a stunning, new 4K restoration.

Spellbinding... a must-see; a wonderful film from a brilliant director.
