8/10
A great soundtrack, with accompanying hypnotic visuals
18 January 2003
Saw this at my local film theatre and after the sparse opening virtually without speech it soon picked up. The music is fantastic with the likes of Velvet Underground ('stickin with you'), Aphex Twin, Boards 0f Canada and the mighty Can all chipping in to greatly add to the effect of the film on it's audience. The Scottish party scene and the Spanish club scene are brilliantly shot and the lighting effects also admirable. The only thing i slightly disliked was it's lack of plot or narrative detail but when you have a director as visual as this and an actress as mesmerising as Samantha Morton you don't need it as much. Seek it out, but watch Ratcatcher first: 7 out of 10
