A new trailer for Andrea Arnold’s Cannes Jury Prize winning coming-of-age tale “Fish Tank” has found it’s way online.
Featuring an electric performance by first timer Katie Jarvis, who was reportedly discovered by a talent scout yelling at a boyfriend across the platform at a train station, the film centers on the violent, foul-mouthed, world-hating but altogether oddly magnetic and sympathetic Mia (Jarvis) whose dysfunctional life is turned upside by the arrival of her mother’s boyfriend, Connor, played by one of 2009’s biggest success stories Michael Fassbender.
The film premiered at Cannes last year and has worked its way through the global festival circuit with critical acclaim. In fact, it’s still on the road featuring at the Palm Springs Film Festival running at the moment.
IFC Films will be releasing “Fish Tank” theatrically on January 15th and On Demand from January 13th.
