‘Rose of Nevada’ Exclusive Clip Gives Ominous Warning from the Past in Hallucinatory Time Travel Mystery
A strange neighbor’s forboding words act as an ominous warning for the experimental time-traveling voyage ahead in our exclusive clip from Rose of Nevada.
Rose of Nevada opens in New York and Los Angeles theaters on June 19, 2026.
Watch the exclusive clip below, which sees the disoriented Mrs. Richards (Mary Woodvine) accost Nick Dyer (George MacKay), suggesting she knows him from her past, before he embarks on a trip to sea that will change everything.
In the film, “Three decades ago, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea, along with its crew. Now, it has returned. In a remote fishing village, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick (George MacKay), desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam (Callum Turner), a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage, they return to harbor, only to find that nothing is as they remember it.”
Edward Rowe, Francis Magee, Rosaline Eleazar, and Adrian Rawlins also star.
Written, directed, edited, and scored by Mark Jenkin, Rose and Nevada closes out the filmmaker’s Cornish trilogy that also includes shot-on-film folk horror nightmare Enys Men and 2019’s Bait. All three films in the experimental series are set along the Cornish coast and were shot on a 16mm Bolex camera.
It’s also worth noting that Woodvine, who appears in the below clip in effective age makeup, and Rowe also starred in the trilogy’s previous installments.
The film is described as a “hallucinatory time-travel mystery.” The press release notes, “Jenkin conducts a cinematic séance, conjuring a portal into another world that forces us to confront the past and our relationship to it.”
