'We Need to Talk About Kevin' UK trailer

I posted here a few days ago the international trailer of Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin, and I offered up some thoughts on the difficulties a rendering of Lionel Schriver's famous novel might entail and, more generally, on the subject of book-to-screen adaptations.
The trailer was somewhat unfocused, but The Guardian has just released (thanks to reader Sasha for the tip) the UK trailer. Now, this looks like something. And with film pundits calling Swinton's performance in the film a career best, I think this might be the movie to follow as soon as it gets to the commercial circuit. Read my thoughts about the film here and watch the UK trailer after the cut.

Although the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival's competition strand back in June, I hadn't been able so far to get hold of a proper trailer of Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin, the film adaptation of Lionel Schriver's 2003 bestselling novel. There were a couple of Cannes clips circulating on the web, but they were too revealing to post them here. Now, with a release date announced for September, I've finally found an international trailer of the film.
