George Mcai and Callum Turner Talk Talk Lite “Rose of Nevada”
Through his unique brand of analog films, the Mark Jenkin’s Corniche writer planted a group of loyal followers, and nothing more loyal than those who work with him.
“He is an artist,” actor Calum Turner (Boys in the boatHe screams with a challenge tone. “This movie is like the painting meets with a poem. Reading the script, I felt every wave, every blow, and every voice; it was very echo. I was just desperate to do this.”
The Turner project indicates here, of course, Nevada roseThe latest feature of Jenkin, which first appears this afternoon in the Orizzonti competition in Venice. Turner leads the prior approval with George Macai (1917).
Once again in the original Cornwall in Jenkin, the film focuses on a forgotten village for fishing where the Nevada rose appears, a boat lost in the sea with all hands 30 years ago, in mysterious condition in the old port.
Nick (Macai) takes a job on the boat in an attempt to provide his young family. To his side, Liam (Turner), who recently arrived at the crew, arrived desperate to escape his past. They go to the sea, and after a successful trip, they return to the port. But there is something wrong. They retreated in time, and the villagers revive them as if they were the original boat crew.
The movie is very smart, with strong horror notes that remind me of the first time that Stanley Cubrick faced Bright. Nevada rose It is also the most ambitious Jenkin production, with complicated sequences in harsh conditions.
Mcai, who spoke to us alongside Turner during a break from his current Feeling and sensitivity He shoots, he says that he got acquainted with the project by the director of the estuary, Shaheen Paige, who was asked to hold a general meeting with Jenkin to explore possible cooperation.
“I have read the scenario, which is very similar to the movie. It is a freed, but it is also very poetic and hashish,” explains Mcai.
“So I went with all my theories about the characters and what all this means. Then I sat with Mark, and we did not talk about the movie for the entire meeting. We just talked about other films and its operation, which is clearly for a Polix camera and how to dictate how to make the movie.”
Nevada Rose, Like many previous Jenkin works, it was filmed on 16mm using Bolex camera. The rich and arbitrary completion adds only when cellopy is fed through the complex film. However, the analog process makes an unique experience on a group.
“Everything was 27 seconds, then it ended,” Turner recalls Jenkin, who works in the handcrafted camera.
Bolex does not pick up the sound either, so you should create each piece of sound in the movie in post.
“There was a strict AdR process,” explained by Turner. “You enter and perform every line, voice and launch in the movie. Then Mark also does so. He did every voice you hear in the movie. He did it in a studio. So he is really an artist. He presents himself as he is, but he is.”
Mackay describes Bolex mechanical restrictions as “positive limits” that encourage artists to “the goal of the brand more.”
“He was a lesson in accuracy, because you know that you would get one, and they may take. We have always been asking to take a third, but it was taking a maximum.”
Jenkin’s dedication in Bolex is more impressive given the amount of this film that is filmed inside and around open water, on boats, with low light. For prolonged scenes, the audience follows Mackay and Turner characters that perform open water rituals. With my tongue firmly in my cheek, I asked the couple if they really pulled the fish from the water, or they used standing?
“Oh, it’s as real as possible, especially when all fish water decreases to your back,” says Turner.
Mcai -Mark says he sent him episodes of a TV documentary on fishermen all over the United Kingdom to prepare him and order him to monitor Lee Carter, the real hunter they use in the movie.
“Our boat was a real boat for me,” says Mcai. “These men are very harsh. He showed me a picture of his hand that fell into a crane, and it seemed that he could have lost it. He was a serious wound. I said, how did you sort it?
Mackay and Turker told me that the last movie Robert Bresson, 1983 drama L’ggentAnd 2000 excitement The perfect stormThe George Clooney championship, had effects on Jenkin during production. However, the supply was not with his inspiration.
“It was about referring to the way he made films in the past instead of returning to others,” says Mcai.
And like the previous Genkin films, Nevada roseThe end is strong but mysterious. I will refrain from discussing it here to avoid spoilers. But I asked the deadly question to Turner and Makay: What do you think of all this means? They were, like Jenkin, hesitant to share a final answer.
“This is Mark’s genius. He always says he does not like the ends. He does not want to spoil her to the audience,” says Turner. “He wants them to have their spiritual journey when watching the movie. It has been placed there to make your own decision.”
