When Morvern Callar discovers her boyfriend dead by suicide, it's the start of an unpredictable and unconventional process of self-transformation.

A FILM BY LYNNE RAMSAY, THE DIRECTOR OF 'RATCATCHER' & 'WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN'

Samantha Morton (Minority Report and AMC's The Walking Dead) is 'gives the female performance of the year' (San Francisco Examiner) as the enigmatic 'Morvern Callar', in filmmaker Lynne Ramsay's (Ratcatcher, We Need to Talk About Kevin) highly acclaimed and remarkably assured second feature, based on Alan Warner's lauded debut novel.

Equal parts road movie and character study, 'Morvern Callar' is as gripping and beautiful as it is dark and inscrutable.

The ever-present and extraordinary soundtrack--stemming from a mixtape made for Morvern by her boyfriend, and including songs by Can, The Velvet Underground, Aphex Twin, Stereolab, Nancy & Lee and more--is masterfully and audaciously woven into the narrative, acting as a voice for a protagonist who often chooses to remain silent. The film's contrasting two main environments--cold, grey Scotland and arid, sunny southern Spain--are gorgeously captured by cinematographer Alwin Küchler (Ratcatcher, Steve Jobs).

Now, as it reaches its 20th anniversary and has been restored for this first-ever Blu-ray edition, Morvern Callar—a film like no other—is ready to bewitch again.
