About This Movie
The Banishment, a 2022 drama that dives deep into isolation and the human psyche, follows Ziko, a young sleepwalker exiled from his village. The frigid winter backdrop adds a stark, haunting atmosphere, enhancing the sense of dread and alienation. The pacing is intentionally slow, allowing viewers to linger on Ziko's plight and the hostile responses he meets in neighboring villages. Lalo, the deaf-mute character, brings an additional layer of complexity, embodying silent struggle and resilience. The performances are raw, capturing the intensity of desperation and the nuances of human connection. It’s a film that doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable themes, making it a unique entry in contemporary drama.
