There's no denying the passion that fast-talking, chainsmoking
writer director Lynne Ramsay has for her
work. Ramsay made her auspicious film debut with the critically
praised Ratcatcher. Now tackling the script for The
Lovely Bones, based on Alice Sebold's best-selling novel,
Ramsay will also direct the film. It's a coup for the moviemaker,
and the pressure will definitely be on, but from the looks
of her new film, Morvern Callar, starring Samantha
Morton, the unconventional and confident Ramsay is up to the
task.
