Bait film about Cornish fishermen - "one of the defining British films of the decade"

[DaveCinzano]

New film, about a Cornish fisherman displaced by incomers, looks really rather good - like some lost kitchen sink drama from the early 60s.

Plus a very familiar face in the trailer

fucking brilliant film - can't wait to see it again on 35mm at our local (though dunno how that works considering it's filmed on hand-cranked 16mm)

Hell up!

Going by the trailer it has a sort of Down Terrace vibe to it to my mind

Kermode "creamed his jeans"* about this as modern parlance goes.

@12 seconds?

It's quite a big part. There's a fantastic argument that they're involved in that gets edited into another argument. One of the best sequences in the film.

Off to see this at the Rio in Hackney on Friday.

Aye - I'd not seen any mention of it around these parts (unless it was in the Secret Hidden Forums ) so initially thought I was hallucinating

A really great film. Such a different style but the storytelling and great characters make it watchable and easy to recommend. Some good humourous moments matched with equal amounts of suspense.

Interested to see the director's short films and what he has in store next.

Loved it.

I thought it was excellent. Perfect combination of storyline, acting and oddness. Lots of resonances with bits of North Wales for my partner who is from there.

I really enjoyed this. God, but there were a lot of supremely slappable people -- their sheer entitledness was very well captured.

Off to see this at the Barbican tomorrow. Really looking forward to it.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

What a wonderful film. So unlike anything I've seen for a very long time. Truly unique.

Just been this afternoon, brilliant stuff. Plaudits are well deserved.
