Party Like it’s 1999: Hand-picked films from the turn of the milennium. “We only want you to have some fun…”

Lynne Ramsay captures a haunting portrayal of an impoverished Glasgow childhood during the 1975 bin strike, as 12-year-old James (William Eadie) is haunted by his part in a local tragedy and struggles to make sense of the guilt and cruelty of his environment. Featuring breathtaking imagery, astonishing performances and a touch of sweetness, this British classic remains raw and deeply moving 25 years on.
