Fish Tank Trailer

Fish Tank won the Jury Prize at Cannes and has made a lot of buzz on the film festival circuit. All I had heard about it was that Michael Fassbender was in it, until I saw this amazing trailer.

The film is a coming-of-age story centering on 15-year-old Mia (Jarvis) who 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.

Wow.  This film looks amazing.  It has a limited release in the US January 15, and will be also shown On Demand starting Jan. 13th.  Michael Fassbender's Hunger becomes available on DVD on Feb. 16th so I can finally see another great performance of his that everyone has been talking about.
