The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the gravity of the Via Crucis preparations. The film oscillates between the inmates' personal stories and the collective energy of the villagers, creating a distinct blend of solemnity and surrealism. Practical effects are minimal, but the authenticity of the performances really draws you in.
