It’s another “haunting and hallucinatory” trip into the uncanny.
1-2 Special brings ROSE OF NEVADA to theaters June 19. The new film by Mark Jenkin of 2023’s acclaimed ENYS MEN, who sot it on a 16mm Bolex camera, it stars George MacKay and Callum Turner. The synopsis: “Three decades ago, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea, along with its crew. Now, it has returned. In a remote fishing village, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick [MacKay], desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam [Turner], a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage, they return to harbor, only to find that nothing is as they remember it.”
