The new Scottish cinema
Traces Scottish film culture's industrial, creative and critical evolution in comprehensive detail across a forty-year period. On the one hand, it invites readers to reconsider the known - films such as Shallow Grave, Ratcatcher, The Magdalene Sisters, Young Adam, Red Road and The Last King of Scotland. On the other, it uncovers the overlooked, from the 1980s comedic film makers who followed in the footsteps of Bill Forsyth to the variety of present-day Scottish film making - a body of work that encompasses explorations of multiculturalism, exploitation of the macabre and much else in between.--Provided by publisher

Details are acoustical: The films of Lynne Ramsay
\"Some filmmakers shine a bright light that blurs the intimate, the indistinct and the fugitive. [Lynn] Ramsay shines a flashlight here and there, in an open, daring, quietly confident manner and with an acute eye to the particulars that inform. Within families a lot happens on the periphery and the most telling details are often seen out of the corner of one's eye. Every family, as the viewer can see in Ramsay's films, has a shorthand language of gesture and sound that is peculiarly private yet universally understood. Ramsay's use of sound and the silent gravity of her pictures magnifies subtle inner movements. Exquisitely attuned to the ability of sound to conjure and modulate the inner fluctuations and private gestures of emotional life, she pulls the viewer into an intimacy with her characters. Sound and image work in a kind of correspondence.\" (Afterimage) This overview of Ramsay's films and filmmaking philosophies details her unique abilities to \"illuminate the interior life while peering into the murky waters of relationships.\" Her films Ratcatcher and Morvern Callar are highlighted.
