The film-maker Lynne Ramsay has been hailed as one of the finest new talents in world cinema, and Ratcatcher, her first feature, has attracted international acclaim. In this book, the first full-length study of Ramsay’s work, Annette Kuhn considers the director’s background and explores Ratcatcher alongside her other films. Kuhn places the film in the context of Scottish media and literary cultures and includes interviews with Ramsay and others on the film’s production team.
In this book, the author turns her attention to the deconstruction of pictures closer to home - photographs from her own childhood and images from her shared ethnographic past - to trace a trajectory from personal to collective acts of memory.
The author charts the developments in feminist film theory, drawing on both recent and classic films, from the mainstream and alternative cinema. She also attempts to demystify current methods of analysis, including semiotic and psychoanalytical approaches.

Der Debütband von Andre Rudolph eröffnet die Reihe junger deutscher Lyrik bei luxbooks. Seine Verse sind beunruhigend, schön und komisch, mit einem Mut zum dichterischen Risiko. Der Band vereint furiose Landschaftsbeschreibungen und Märchenzitate, die die Geistesgeschichte der Melancholie reflektieren.
