The most absorbing, original and satisfying film I've seen in years. Can't wait to go back and watch it again. Why hasn't it won every award in the world? Liz
Every time I go down to the Prince Charles Cinema since I was at this screening, I’ll be writing down on the request board for a double feature of Bait and The Lighthouse in 35mm.
The Cinematic Mind Yes!!! Please do. If I did the same they'd just thinkit was the same person
Nerd Incorporated Filmed on 16mm but presented on 35mm.
Kermode is in love with this man and his movie. Can't wait for the Blu-Ray.
Ironically really hard to see it in the west country
fantastic to see you comment on this.
I started watching this only having read the plot, not knowing anything else. What first seemed like an obstacle later turned out to be just what made the film as mesmerizing as it was.
I once (1971) made a short documentary with a Bolex H16 like that, I have great respect for this production.
humble guy! GREAT FILM
I'm really looking forward to seeing this. What a bold move aestetically to shoot on 16mm. Brilliant.
leewprice I hope you love it! It's much more than "just" a film shot on 16mm.
I can't wait to see it again.
I thought is was fake effects, but he really did shoot on 16mm. Holy Jesus.
It was my brothers birthday, my family watched the eclipse from the cliffs of Cornwall or maybe lands end, I was too young to really take it in but it’s a good memory
My Bungalow in Atlantic Crescent Sennen was featured in this film.
Stumbled upon Bait's existence only the other day from a Rick Stein BBC programme and a few sequences were shown. Looks a brilliant proper Cornish concept an' I d'like 'en! Must have a watch on BFI somewhen.
This is very interesting and I really would like to see Bait and his next film sounds very much in the vein of what I'm attracted to also.
Mark Jenkins's next film sounds great. I hope it happens.
what was the budget please, was it crowdfunded or paid for by his savings account?
I believe there was a crowdfunding for it but I may be wrong
I clean his mums windows in st ives 😁
Prove it...
Central theme? A dichotomy, locals versus second-home owners, with the viewer baiting (excuse pun) for Martin the foul-mouthed, monosyllabic anti-hero played totally deadpan by Edward Rowe. Enjoyable.
"And what for you is that central theme?" (nervous laughs between them)
Just say it Mark, it's about losing our culture
So annoying. They are scared to say the truth, it’s about the destruction of the native British people from their villages...by Chinese tourists that are buying it all up. It’s depressing stuff. It’s turning into a “west world” theme Park, but no natives because they are pushed out, so it’s all tourists pretending to live like the native English villagers...they are destroying what they actually love. Oh the irony.
@@hanniffydinn6019 Hi there, native Cornishman here, Cornwall has barely any Chinese tourists, barely comparable any other race in the whole of the county, the people who are destroying our culture and county are Northern upper class and wealthy brits, who think of Cornwall as nothing more than a nice seaside view, and buy all the land up for fancy restaruants and condos for other wealthy people. It's not a racial nor social thing, it's a wealth thing, which is what one of the main messages of the movie is about. Cornwall was never supposed to be a playground for the rich.
Jelly Penguini I concur, give you some context, at the time of writing, I was learning all about how the Chinese are buying up EVERYTHING all over the world, the property in USA, Australia, UK etc. Is owned by wealthy Chinese... hence my “Chinese” is just “wealthy elite” really. In counties like Vietnam only local natives can buy property/land legally. Something needs to be done, otherwise the wealthy elite gentrification will NEVER stop. Natives like you need to come together and FIGHT to get the laws changed. Otherwise nothing changes.
@@hanniffydinn6019 Ironic isn't it. When one thinks back to the dozens of different cultures and the millions of peoples' culture that "The British" have taken (ruined?, stolen?) in the last 500 years. The cynic in me says...KARMA.
@@MrSaboburns cornish isn’t english as english is anglo saxan and cornish is celtic so no not really... it’s the anglo saxans who colonised
It’s a found footage horror film. So cliche.
Haha what?
no it isn’t lmao
@@liloa03 are you deaf? He literally says it’s a found footage film ! 1:30. Your single brain cell is confusing the theme to technique.
@@hanniffydinn6019 are you blind? The film is literally not found footage
Completely different film...
