Bird
- OFFICIAL SELECTION: Festival de Cannes -
Renowned English filmmaker Andrea Arnold (Wuthering Heights, American Honey) marries fantasy and reality in this moving coming-of-age tale.
Twelve-year-old Bailey (played by talented newcomer Nykiya Adams) lives with her single dad Bug (Barry Keoghan, The Banshees of Inisherin, Saltburn) and brother Hunter in a squat in North Kent.
Soon to be marrying his new girlfriend, Bug doesn’t have much time for his kids, and Bailey’s mother lives with a violent, cruel man.
Bailey seeks attention and adventure elsewhere, often retreating to the open fields on the outskirts of her hometown. It is here she is able to connect with herself and nature.
While on one of these walks, Bailey has a deeply meaningful encounter with the mysterious figure Bird (Franz Rogowski, A Hidden Life).
Bailey and Bird form a strong bond through their shared position as outsiders, helping the fledgling teen to confront her difficult home life.
Tackling themes such as identity, sexism, loneliness, and class struggle, Bird is a compelling, ultimately joyous ode to the wondrous transition from childhood to adolescence.
