    i’m fairly confident in calling mark jenkins latest feature Enys Men one of the best films of the decade, so i knew visiting his debut feature was a priority. just as i hoped, this is another from-the-beyond experiment in audiovisual excellence. by far jenkins greatest asset as a filmmaker is his films possess a true and definite texture, something that activates the senses. i cant think of another filmmaker working right now who has so expertly utilized (and been this passionate about) the look and feel inherent in 16mm film.
