You get this palpable sense of isolation, enhanced by the presence of stray animals weaving through the desolate streets. The atmosphere is heavy, carrying whispers of past suffering while juxtaposing the current mundane lives of the villagers. The pacing is deliberate, which might challenge some viewers, but it really draws you into the unsettling calm.
