Bait (15)
Martin is a Cornish fisherman struggling to buy a boat while coping with family rivalry and the arrival of London money, Airbnb and stag parties to his quaint harbour village. With tensions simmering between locals and newcomers, the advent of the summer season strains Martin’s fraternal and neighbourly disposition to breaking point; and that’s before the wheel clamp appears. Stunningly shot on a vintage 16mm camera using monochrome Kodakstock, Mark Jenkin’s remarkable new film has genuine depth and history, telling a funny, yet poignant tale that gets right to the heart of a Cornish community facing unwelcome change.
