That's about it, story-wise, but Ramsay's bold visual sense, droll wit and tender but unsentimental take on the various characters and their relationships makes for a distinctly poetic brand of gritty realism.</div><div><br></div><div><i>Ratcatcher</i> is a film that has enjoyed many screenings at Filmhouse, and as one of the very best Scottish films, an essential title to include in our Bleak Week celebrations.</div>DramaPT1H33M152026-06-25William Eadie
