Eric Cantona stars in Ken Loach’s new film that looks set for critical acclaim at this year’s Cannes Festival. Loach, famed for his gritty realism in films such as Kes and the award-winning docu-drama Cathy Come Home, tells the story of Man Utd obsessed postman Eric Bishop.

As he lurches from one personal crisis to another a man enters his life with more than a few words of wisdom. That man is, of course, Eric Daniel Pierre Cantona, and a figment of Bishop’s imagination.

Cantona oozes charisma like a seeping wound and the former Man Utd legend doesn’t disappoint here. For a taster of Looking for Eric, check out the video below.
