Fish Tank

UK/ 2009
Dir. Andrea Arnold
Cast: Katie Jarvis, Michael Fassbender, Jason Maza

Fifteen-year-old Mia Williams (Katie Jarvis) lives with her single mother Joanne (Kierston Wareing) and younger sister Tyler (Rebecca Griffiths) in a run down block of flats. Suspended from school, she fills her days searching for the next alcohol fix and hanging out in a derelict flat near her home. When her mother brings home new boyfriend Connor (Michael Fassbender) to meet the girls, Mia soon finds herself attracted to him. Unfortunately for all concerned, the feeling seems mutual… A gritty, darkly humorous tale of fatal attraction from writer/director Andrea Arnold (‘Red Road’).

WInner of the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize 2009.

‘Another highly intelligent, involving film from one of the most powerful voices in British cinema’ **** The Guardian
