Few film industries have had the quality of the British one and the Britons were the first to give one kind of artistically representation to the documentary film. Now Mark Jenkin that I have the honour of meeting Mark Jenkin under the red carpet ceremony nd he answer to some of my question . It was a really difficult task because there were so much people that wanted to speak with him. The movie “Bailt” is settle in Cornwall that is the fith part of the United Kingdom with a old culture that mx the English one, with the Celtic roman. Just now after almost thousen year of forced assimilation to the English or bather Anglo Normans rules of a Thousand year the Cornwall nation shiw to be more adware of itself. The main task in this wonderful movie is a conflict between Nick a young fisherman played by Edward Rowe that have the huge problem that he has no boat and his family house has been occupay and bought by Tim paly by a charismatic but rather arrogant Simon Shepherd and his wife that even less sympathetic in the first time sigh Sandra play by Mary Woodvine, Their daughter Katje play by Georgia Ellery has a relationship with Nicks nephew play Martin Ellis, It is a really tight situation that is describe in a black an white photo Mark Jenkin by with 16 millimetre film and with a asymmetrical editing. We see the same scene several time with more difficulties given for having us been taken to a several kind of problem that are coming out with a Chinese box. Place like the pub own by Wanna a rather authoritative Madame are seen in several angels with a sound that is dirty but so really. We are so close as with should be to the great Robert J. Flaherty masterpiece The man from Araan but here the things are even bather with a particular hard and disturbing because we fell the tension also in the relation between Nick and his older brother play by Giles King and the wind that comes against all palm trees we are almost fast on our armchair for all the coming of the film bewitched by it. And the happing ending doesn’t come, as it was not coming in and other great British film
