We Need To Talk About Kevin

Scottish writer and director Lynne Ramsay returns with a vengeance after almost a decade with this haunting character study. The traumatic relationship of woman with her son is explored with whom she has never been able to bond which could have lead him to commit an heinous crime. Ramsay examines her main character with a clinical precision in a stunning non-linear way. She co-wrote with Rory Kinnear based on the novel by Lionel Shriver which features a stellar cast and crew including the terrific Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly and Ezra Miller, cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, production design Judy Becker, editor Joe Bini and music by Jonny Greenwood. 1001-Films coverage of the 64th Festival de Cannes.
