The film’s publicity pack describes Enys Men as ecosophical. Jenkin explains that ecosophy is a specific philosophy that meditates on environmental harmony, and how producer Denzil Monk used the theory to describe an early draft of the script.“The film is about the impact an individual has on the environment in this particular place in 1973. The main character is observing a flower that grows on an island off the coast of Cornwall and, through observing this flower, she’s able to make observations about the impact we’re having on the planet.” The end of England: bringing Cornwall’s tensions to a global audience – The New European
Jenkin actually has a name for it — ecosophical horror. “Ecosophical is the philosophy of ecological equilibrium and harmony,” he says. “It’s a French idea about balance within the world. And if one thing is knocked out of balance, it has a knock-on effect for everything else.” Enys Men: Cornish Creeps in Mark Jenkin’s Unsettling Horror – The Hollywood Reporter
