The pacing feels leisurely, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere and get a sense of the community's relationship with nature. Practical effects? Well, they don't rely heavily on them here, but the real-world implications are fascinating. It's the kind of film that sticks with you, just for the sheer oddity of its subject matter.
