When her boyfriend commits suicide, unambitious Glasgow clerk Morvern Callar (Samantha Morton) invents various stories to explain his absence. She then finds a novel he completed before killing himself and sends it to several publishing houses as her own work. When the book is bought, Morvern uses her first payment to take a Spanish vacation with her best friend, Lana (Kathleen McDermott), which turns out to be a surprising emotional journey.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary and the latest expanded edition of Kier-La Janisse’s House of Psychotic Women, Cinematheque presents a series of films exploring crippling paranoia, desperate loneliness, masochistic death-wishes, dangerous obsessiveness and apocalyptic hysteria.
