Lynne Ramsay

Vigorous, mysterious, and always on the move, the films of Lynne Ramsay have introduced bold new possibilities for sound, color, and the exploration of memory. Room 2 contains the two-part film The Ghost of Nicolas Roeg, one of Ramsay's great influences, and addresses her complex and layered psychological editing. These questions are explored further in Room 3 through sections on Ramsay's recurring motifs, approaches to sound and color, and emphasis on ceremonies and rituals.
