Former Manchester United star Eric Cantona will appear in The Mermaid Man, a new comedy film about synchronised swimming, which is set in Manchester.

Ken Loach plays a blinder with this affable study of a depressed postman (Steve Evets) who sorts his life out with the help of his imaginary mentor Eric Cantona. It's not Loach's most political work but it's definitely his funniest film to date. Evets and his postie pals keep the daft laughs coming.
