Rose of Nevada

Three decades ago, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea, along with its crew. Now, it has returned. In a remote fishing village, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick (George MacKay), desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam (Callum Turner), a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage, they return to harbor, only to find that nothing is as they remember it. Shooting on a 16mm Bolex camera and constructing all the sound in post, Mark Jenkin writes, directs, edits and scores a haunting and hallucinatory time-travel mystery that further solidifies him as one of the most distinct, singular artists working in film today. Jenkin conducts a cinematic séance, conjuring a portal into another world that forces us to confront the past and our relationship to it.

"It’s got a rhythm, often quite literally with a metronomic sound that plays for minutes on end, that becomes increasingly mesmerizing." - RogerEbert.com

"Matching the lightning-in-a-bottle domestic success of “Bait” might be a tall order, though either way, the film seals its one-man-band creator as a distinctive, now eminently recognizable arthouse voice." - Variety
