Dir. Lynne Ramsay
Rating: [M]

Aroview: Set during the 1970s garbage strike in Glasgow, this intensely stylish though sombre Scottish childhood tragedy features an unusual mix of the surreal, the poetic and the squalid. Some astonishingly vivid scenes combine with extraordinary child acting (William Eadie) to present an excellent alternative to the more sentimental versions of growing up in abject poverty.
