Dir. Mark Jenkin, UK, 2022, 96 mins. Cast. Mary Woodvine, John Woodvine, Edward Rowe.
Mark Jenkin follows up his acclaimed breakthrough Bait with this mind-bending Cornish folk horror tale, gorgeously shot on grainy 16mm.
In 1973 on a remote island off the Cornish coast, a wildlife volunteer's daily observations of a rare flower take a dark turn into the strange and metaphysical, forcing both her (and the audience) to question what is real, and what is a nightmare...is the landscape not only alive, but sentient? Shooting on 16mm colour film stock and using post-synched sound, Jenkin has created another boldly experimental work set against his native Cornish landscape. It's an eerie, almost dialogue-free throwback to the British folk horrors of the 1970s; an ode to Cornwall's rich folklore and natural beauty; and a look at how, when alone, we are at the mercy of our memories, dreams, and fears.
