JENKIN’S FILMS: Bait was his first feature-length film. Enys Men is his second.

Mark Kermode, Britain’s leading film critic, called Bait one of the defining British films of the decade. Appearing in 2019, the film is that rare example of the distinctive vision of one inspired filmmaker, Mark Jenkin, who wrote, directed, edited, and produced the music for the film. As a story, Bait is a subtle study of a small fishing community and its tensions, but its gorgeous black and white imagery elevates the film to a majestic work of visual art in its own right. Not to be missed on the big screen! Bruce Isaacs
