From <em>The Arbor<\/em> and <em>The Selfish Giant<\/em> to <em>Dark River<\/em> and <em>Ali &amp; Ava<\/em>, Barnard has delivered hit after hit. And her latest, Birmingham-based festival circuit darling <em>I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning<\/em>, looks set to see Barnard&#8217;s hot streak continue. An adaptation of Kieran Goddard&#8217;s same-named novel, this one stars <em>Furious<\/em> breakout Lola Petticrew and a veritable who&#8217;s who of in demand British and Irish talent (Daryl McCormack! Anthony Boyle! Jay Lycurgo! Joe Cole!) as a band of childhood pals who&#8217;ve partied hard and now find themselves reckoning with their unfulfilled dream amid a major housing crisis. Check out the trailer below;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>Ever wondered what <em>Skins<\/em> would&#8217;ve been like if it was set in Brum, the cast were all a decade older, and it was shot through with Clio Barnard&#8217;s bruising yet ethereally beautiful brand of social realist filmmaking? Well, <em>I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning<\/em> looks like it&#8217;s got you covered. Boozing, bust-ups, banter, and the malaise of oncoming middle age all swirl around this first trailer for Barnard&#8217;s new housing estate drama, with The Streets&#8217; <em>Original Pirate Material<\/em> classic &#8216;Turn The Page&#8217; providing the soundtrack to a film that seems to simultaneously be serving up a celebration of community and an elegy to its loss amid the rubble of demolished council blocks. In other words, we&#8217;ve got a Clio Barnard movie on our hands \u2014 and one buoyed by the talents of some of the most exciting actors working right now.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>With rave reviews coming out of several film festivals this year already, including Cannes (where the film won both the Audience Award and the coveted Palm Dog), <em>I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning<\/em> is heading our way with an electric atmosphere already surrounding its release. We look forward to being struck by Barnard&#8217;s latest when it arrives in UK cinemas on December 4.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last 16 years, Otley-born filmmaker and documentarian Clio Barnard has earned a reputation as one of Britain&#8217;s best and most vital social realist filmmakers.
