Enys Men
Mark Jenkin follows Bait with this chilling, endlessly mysterious folk horror tale, beautifully shot on grainy 16mm.
Director: Mark Jenkin
Overview
On a remote island off the Cornish coast, a environmentalist records daily observations about a rare flower growing near the cliff edge. Going about her tasks, the nameless ecologist lives a life of isolation and repetition. But as changes suddenly appear on the plant she is studying, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, plunging the her into a nightmarish, metaphysical dreamscape.
Triumphantly delivering on the promise of his extraordinary debut, Jenkin’s sophomore feature is a fascinatingly abstract, almost dialogue-free throwback to the British folk horror films of the 1970s – steeped in cine-literacy yet bracingly singular in its own right.
