Bait

A real rarity a modestly budgeted black and white film delivering a five-star punch. 'Bait is a genuine modern masterpiece,' enthuses Mark Kermode. 'A film by, for, and about Cornwall, and I loved it!'

When two fishermen brothers fall out over their own futures and the fate of their village, the traditions they have always lived by start to fracture. Martin is now a fisherman without a boat because brother Steven has commandeered it to satisfy the tourist trade. And their family home, like so many others, has been bought up by rich London incomers. Director Mark Jenkin's hugely authentic first feature digs deep into the changing times of a once-thriving village.
