“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” “What is?” “The day.” Mubi has revealed their trailer for an indie film called Bird, the latest feature written and directed by the award-winning filmmaker Andrea Arnold (of Red Road, Fish Tank, American Honey, Cow). It premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in the Main Competition this year, but didn’t take home any awards. Reviews were mixed but fairly positive. Bailey lives with her brother Hunter and her father Bug, who raises them alone in a squat in northern Kent. Bug doesn’t have much time to devote to them. So Bailey looks for attention and adventure elsewhere, eventually meeting a strange man named “Bird” with whom she builds a connection with. A tender, striking, distinctly surprising coming-of-age fable from Academy Award-winner Andrea Arnold, starring Barry Keoghan, Franz Rogowski, and newcomer Nykiya Adams as Bailey. Arriving in theaters in the US, Canada, UK & Ireland from November 8th this fall – and streaming eventually on Mubi. Another completely fresh & original lovely cinema creation.
Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Andrea Arnold’s film Bird, direct from Mubi’s YouTube:
12 year old Bailey (Nykiya Adams) lives with her single dad Bug (Barry Keoghan) and her brother Hunter (Jason Buda) in a squat in North Kent, in the UK. Bug doesn’t have much time for his kids and Bailey who is approaching puberty seeks attention and adventure elsewhere. Bird is written and directed by acclaimed British filmmaker Andrea Arnold, maker of the films Red Road, Fish Tank, Wuthering Heights, American Honey, and Cow previously, plus episodes of “I Love Dick”, “Transparent”, and “Big Little Lies”. Produced by Lee Groombridge, Juliette Howell, and Tessa Ross. This first premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, and it also played at Telluride, Toronto, San Sebastian. Mubi will release Andrea Arnold’s Bird film in select US theaters (+ UK) starting November 8th, 2024 coming soon. Who wants to watch?
