Mark Jenkin's enigmatic folk horror Enys Men both captivated and puzzled SFX's reviewer on release late last year – it's that sort of film. There’s no other information so this doesn’t tell you very much, but I refer you to the “Film Sounds” item, during which this shot is played and Jenkin effectively gives a live commentary on it.Enys Men follows much the same process except that instead of being in black and white, it’s in colour, so processing was done elsewhere. Legend has it that the stones, nineteen of them, were girls punished for dancing on a Sunday by being turned into stone.

There is no plot, really, but seams of connection between fragments of time, found in a woman’s psyche and a roiling, vivid landscape.

A wildlife volunteer’s (Mary Woodvine) daily observations of a rare flower take a dark turn into the strange and metaphysical, forcing both her and viewers to question what is real and what is nightmare.Wood compares Jenkin to Roeg in several ways: as a director who is also his own cinematographer (as was Roeg on his first two films, after his previous career as a leading DP of the 1960s), in their use of editing to fragment time and space, and their use of landscape. Enys Men brings across thoughts about the relationship between ourselves and the land and the history that the land itself contains. That said, he does talk a lot about the themes of the films, such as the coexistence of past and present and future, but some of the non-linearity is due to making use of what he had available when he came to edit the film. Also in the film is Mary Woodvine’s father, John Woodvine, ninety-one years old at the time of production and five years after his previous screen appearance. Filmed on location around the disused tin mines of West Penwith, it is also an ode to Cornwall’s rich folklore and natural beauty.
