Fish Tank (2009)

Director: Andrea Arnold

What ideas are used to introduce the main character?

  • victim
  • violence
  • lower/working class
  • female protagonist 


What are the similarities and differences between the opening sequences of Fish Tank and Harry Brown?


  • almost all teenage characters are clearly working class
  • main adult characters tend to be middle class
  • representations may be said to reflect middle class anxiety at threat of working class to their hegemonic dominance
