Winner of the Cannes Jury Prize, Fish Tank is an emotionally stunning coming-of-age story, electrified by the breakthrough performance of its young star Katie Jarvis. Fifteen-year-old Mia (Jarvis) is in a constant state of war with her family and the world around her, without any creative outlet for her considerable energies save a secret love of hip-hop dance. When she meets her party-girl mother’s charming new boyfriend, Connor (Michael Fassbender), she is amazed to find he returns her attention and believes he might help her start to make sense of her life. A clear-eyed, potent portrait of teenage sexuality and vulnerability, Fish Tank confirms writer/director Arnold’s status as one of the leading figures of new British cinema. Programmed by IU Cinema’s Social Media and Web Specialist Barbara Ann O’Leary. (35mm Presentation)
