The TVI Take

Mark Jenkin's 2019 Cornish black-and-white 16mm film about the tension between traditional fishing villages and tourism economies. The hand-processed film stock and the post-dubbed audio are formal commitments rare in 21st-century cinema; the political-economic argument about coastal community displacement is more pointed than the kitchen-sink-realism framing suggests.

Independent British film at its most-committed.
