Fish Tank (Criterion Collection) on Blu-ray

British director Andrea Arnold (RED ROAD) won the Cannes Jury Prize for the searing and invigorating FISH TANK, about a fifteen-year-old girl, Mia (electrifying newcomer Katie Jarvis), who lives with her mother and sister in the depressed housing projects of Essex. Mias adolescent conflicts and emerging sexuality reach boiling points when her mothers new boyfriend (a lethally attractive Michael Fassbender [HUNGER, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS]) enters the picture. In her young career, Arnold has already proven herself to be a master of social realism (evoking the work of Mike Leigh and Ken Loach), investing her sympathetic portraits of dead-end lives with a poetic, earthy sensibility all her own. FISH TANK heralds the official arrival of a major new filmmaker.
