They Live in Forests, They Are Extremely Shy is this interesting documentary that really digs into the complexities of colonialism. It follows an Aboriginal man who finds himself in London during the Colonial Exhibition of 1886. The atmosphere is heavy, almost palpable with tension, reflecting the cultural clash. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection that linger long after viewing. There's a raw authenticity to the performances that feels grounded, unlike many other films from that period. What stands out is how it challenges the viewer's perceptions of history and identity. The practical effects are minimal but impactful, designed to draw you into the subject matter rather than distract. It's a distinctive piece that doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths.
