"Riff-Raff" is a 1990 British film directed by Ken Loach, and starring Robert Carlyle. It won the European Film Award for best picture.

As with most Loach films, "Riff-Raff" is a naturalistic portrayal of modern Britain. It follows Stevie, played by Robert Carlyle, a Glaswegian recently released from prison who has moved to London and got a job on a building site turning old houses into luxury apartments.
