"When I was starting to think about making my own films, it was always Lynne Ramsay who I would turn to. I think she is an incredible filmmaker and one of the greatest we’ve ever had in the UK. I would watch this film endlessly, amazed by the composition, the sound design, the naturalistic acting. It is also beautifully emotional. I still put it on in the background when I write, in the hope of some inspiration. I met her briefly at an awards party last year, and I was stupidly overexcited."

"I can only thank the irresponsible video store worker who rented this film out to my little cousin and me when we were about thirteen (it was issued an 18 certificate in the UK). The uncut, brutal attack on Murphy and his unfolding semiconscious robot revenge stick with you for life. The ultraviolence is almost funny in parts, because Verhoeven manages these over-the-top scenes so expertly. And if you haven’t tried to down a whole can of Coke and burp “twenty seconds to comply!” then you haven’t been to my high school, pal. "

Sometimes it just all comes together for a singer and a song. Evangeline reminds us of Ark, with a similar feel for catchy harmonies and a gorgeous voice, but the guitar pocket here is very old-school, and it sounds like a mix by Daniel Lanois. It just all melts together like a plastic toy in the sun.

Some really deep and percussive bass synth keeps this one right on the money.

Lydia Evangeline is based in Brighton, UK, you might know her as half of acoustic rock duo Wayward Daughter.
