Fish Tank startte Michael Fassbenders acteercarrière, maar het was nieuwkomer Katie Jarvis die de show stal met haar rauwe portrettering van de zoektocht van een tiener naar transcendentie temidden van armoede. Dit portret van verloren onschuld leverde Andrea Arnold de Cannes Jury Prijs op.

An astonishingly singular feat of sensorial cinema, Andrea Arnold’s first foray into nonfiction filmmaking finds yet another indelible heroine in Luma, a dairy cow.
