Andrea Arnold’s Cannes-Bowing ‘Bird’ Sells Worldwide for Cornerstone
'Bird', Andrea Arnold's Cannes-bowing drama starring Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogowski, has sold worldwide.
With Mubi having snapped up the film before Cannes for the U.K and Ireland and during the fest for North America and Turkey, the new deals include MFA (Germany), Lucky Red (Italy), Avalon (Spain), Benelux (Cineart), Cinobo (Greece), New Cinema (Israel), Front Row (Middle East), Lusomundo (Portugal), Nonstop (Scandinavia), Frenetic (Switzerland), Discovery (Bulgaria, Ex Yugoslavia), Provzglyad (C.I.S), Aerofilm (Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania), Impacto Cine (Latin America), New Select (Japan) and Challan (South Korea). Written and directed by Arnold, “Bird” sees the director return to the social realist world of her dramas “Red Road” and “Fish Tank” (both of them Cannes jury prize winners). The film sees Keoghan play Bug, a tattoo-covered young father living by the British seaside who’s struggling to devote much time to his two children, including his daughter Bailey (Nykiya Adams), a lonely 12-year-old who’s approaching puberty and seeking adventures elsewhere.
