“As you’d expect from Jenkin, shooting once again on 16mm — with occasional visible sprocket holes and searing blasts of overexposure – Rose of Nevada is at once visually harsh and remarkably beautiful in its attention to detail and texture. Rust, mould, crumbling plaster all evoke a world defined by decay, running out of energy and of luck. The water imagery, from rain on slate to the ferocious storm braved by the Rose’s crew – which functions narratively like a spaceship’s entry into a black hole — evokes a world in which porousness is the law. All things leak into all others, meanings and time zones included.” ~ Jonathan Romney, BFI
