Bait, the breakout masterpiece that won Jenkin a Bafta, is a raw and riveting portrait of a Cornish fishing village caught between tradition and gentrification.

Completing the trilogy, Rose of Nevada expands Jenkin’s vision while retaining his unmistakable visual language, offering a bold, atmospheric tale that deepens his reputation as a singular storyteller.
