Mark Jenkin

Terrifically atmospheric: Rose of Nevada reviewed

Rose of Nevada is the third film in Mark Jenkin’s Cornish trilogy and if you have seen the first two (Bait, Enys Men) you will have booked your cinema ticket already. Rooted in characters shaped by the histories and tensions of Cornwall’s fishing folk, Jenkin’s film-making is uniquely tactile, textured and sensory. It has been said you can’t watch one of his features without feeling the rust on your hands and the salt in your hair. I would even add that it may be a while before you find your land-legs again. Starring George MacKay and Callum Turner (Jenkin can now attract A-listers), the film is a time-loop drama where
