Our first film of 2020 is Mark Jenkin’s Bait (2019).

Martin is a fisherman without a boat, his brother Steven having re-purposed it as a tourist tripper. With their childhood home now a get-away for London money, Martin is displaced to the estate above the harbour.

Film critic Mark Kermode calls Bait “…a genuine modern masterpiece, which establishes Jenkin as one of the most arresting and intriguing British film-makers of his generation.“
