Mubi Swoops on Andrea Arnold’s Cannes Competition Entry ‘Bird’ for North America (EXCLUSIVE)
Mubi has swooped on U.S. rights to Andrea Arnold's Cannes competition entry 'Bird', starring Barry Keoghan, which it had already bought for the U.K.
Mubi has doubled down on Andrea Arnold ‘s “ Bird ” — starring Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogoswki — swooping on North American and Turkish rights to the Cannes competition entry less than two weeks after it announced it had bought the film for the U.K. and Ireland. Written and directed by Arnold, “Bird” sees the director return to the social realist, kitchen sink world of her dramas “Red Road” and “Fish Tank” (both of them Cannes jury prize winners). Keoghan plays Bug, a tattoo-covered young father struggling to devote much time to his two children, including lonely 12-year-old daughter Bailey (Nykiya Adams), who’s approaching puberty and seeking adventures elsewhere.
