Soiga is a fascinating dive into a forgotten piece of history, blending the past and present through its documentary lens. The film captures the eerie, melancholic atmosphere of a village that once thrived, now isolated and almost swallowed by the surrounding swamps. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the haunting beauty of the landscape as it contrasts with the remnants of human activity, like the narrow-gauge railway that stands as a ghostly reminder of the timber trade. It’s interesting how the deforestation theme reflects broader environmental concerns, yet it feels personal here. The visual storytelling stands out, as does the lack of a conventional narrative—it's more about mood and reflection than about delivering a clear point, which gives it a unique, almost meditative quality.
