The British Film Institute will release on Blu-ray Mark Jenkin's film Bait (2019), starring Edward Rowe, Mary Woodvine, Simon Shepherd, Giles King, and Chloe Endean. The release will be available for purchase on January 20, 2020.
Synopsis: Contemporary Cornwall. Martin Ward is a cove fisherman, without a boat. His brother Steven has re-purposed their father's vessel as a tourist tripper, driving a wedge between the brothers. With their childhood home now a get-away for London money, Martin is displaced to the estate above the picturesque harbour. As his struggle to restore the family to their traditional place creates increasing friction with tourists and locals alike, a tragedy at the heart of the family changes his world.
