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 (ENYS MEN) 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. With Francis Magee, Edward Rowe, Rosalind Eleazar.
"The result is a film that is haunting and singular – a furnace-blast of the past reshaped and refashioned for our modern times. All aboard." (Globe and Mail)
"As a story of time and tide waiting for no man, “Rose of Nevada” is haunting, bittersweet, and a little scary. As a filmed object, it’s even more fascinating." (The New Yorker)
"Using scuzzy, tactile cinematography and creaky audio, Jenkin is interested in breaking and reconstructing familiar filmic grammar — here, a utensil simply being handed over manages to create tension just waiting to burst." (New York Times)
"Mark Jenkin is still Mark Jenk-ing: the most stubbornly analogue filmmaker out there has produced another satisfyingly baffling film about Cornish communities and the supernatural tension between past and present." (Empire Magazine)
