First world problems!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Jenkin&#8217;s <em>Bait<\/em> is an eerily strange mixture of old and new. The old: 16mm black and white film, shot on a Bolex camera with sound (and a bit too much distress, in my opinion) added later. The [not so] new: The conflict between the locals and the gentrifying townies and their Airbnb guests. The protagonist, Martin, is a fisherman with no boat since a disagreement with his brother, who has gone over to the other side, seemingly, and has repurposed the boat to run daytrips for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;How was the drive?&#8221; asks one weekender of another. &#8220;Awful! Seven Hours.&#8221; &#8220;Same. Nevermind.
