Enys Men

Enys Men was showing on Film 4 last night - Halloween. Probably not a coincidence that it was screened on on that night as, in spite of wonderful seascapes, there is definitely something spooky about it. Mark Jenkins managed to recreate 1973 by means simple objects such as kettle, tea caddy, primitive radio and very old generator.

It is still available on the All 4 (Channel 4's equivalent to i-player) so it can be watched in more than one sitting - it is quietly unsettling. The review I read described it as 'enigmatic' which could also mean unfathomable, inexplicable, puzzling, or perplexing. All of those.
