From the publisher:
"Writer/director Andrea Arnold is an artist whose distinctive voice and arresting style have, rightfully so, established her as one of the greatest filmmakers in contemporary British cinema. For our latest print edition, we take inspiration from her sixth feature, Bird, an urban fable set in Kent about the burgeoning friendship between a rebellious girl on the cusp of teendom and a mysterious stranger searching for his roots.
Bird sees Arnold’s trademark, emotionally-heightened social realism slowly evolving into something a lot more surreal. Having only dipped her toes in the waters of myth and magical realism in the past, here she ambitiously saturates her work in the expansive field of the fantastical in more forceful ways, something that convincingly emerges through the ethereal allure of Franz Rogowski as the otherworldly titular figure. The film also features outstanding performances by newcomer Nykiya Adams as 12-year old protagonist Bailey, whose point of view grounds and shapes Arnold’s filmmaking, and Barry Keoghan as anarchist dad and psychedelic toad-whisperer, Bug."
