If ever there was a film that managed to capture the essence of mid-1970s Glasgow then it's the Ratcatcher.
Released to critical acclaim in 1999, Lynne Ramsay's gripping debut drops us into an impoverished inner city community at the height of the bin strikes, where we become acquainted with 12-year-old James Gillespie who is ridden with guilt due to a dark secret.
Lauded for its "hauntingly-beautiful", and compelling, but, at times, incredibly bleak and hard-to-stomach plot, Ratcatcher explored the day-to-day struggles and hazards facing James in the rat-infested scheme he and his family called home.
