And Then There Was Light is a poignant exploration of life in a serene African village on the brink of change, just before the logging trucks roll in. The film captures the vibrancy of village life, juxtaposed with the creeping dread of the impending destruction. The tonal shifts are remarkable, moving from laughter to somber reflection as the community grapples with loss. The performances feel genuine, breathing life into the characters as they face this existential threat. It’s got an almost documentary-like quality that immerses you in their world, yet there’s a warmth and humor that prevents it from feeling overly heavy. The pacing is leisurely, allowing the viewer to truly appreciate the beauty of the setting before it fades away.
