“I don’t want to become the person who makes films about ‘gritty Glasgow’. I don’t want to be called the next Scottish film-maker or the next woman film-maker. If I come from any tradition it’s a European cinema as opposed to an American one, but I’m not much of a film buff either. My approach to film-making is not high-concept at all. It’s actually quite anti-intellectual in some respects. It’s not that I improvise - the images and the dialogue are written very clearly in the shooting script - but I am intuitive. I’m constantly experimenting, finding out where I want to go. I still feel like a film student. I hope I feel that way for the rest of my life.’

- Lynne Ramsay, Sight & Sound, October 1999

“I’m very interested in focusing in on details and making audiences see things they don’t normally see. What I do a lot in ‘Ratcatcher’ is frame something so that it’s what you don’t see that’s important. I try to be economical, to show the bare minimum and leave the rest to the imagination.”

The story of Nan Goldin and New York goes back to 1977 when, diploma in hand, she landed in the vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere of the American megacity. Drugs, rock n’ roll, punks, drag queens, run-down neighborhoods, friends and lovers struck down by AIDS—all these can be found in her intimate series The Ballad of Sexual Dependency
