What Lies That Way offers a deep, immersive journey into the spiritual fabric of the Lak people. Filmmaker Paul Wolffram navigates the rich landscapes of southern New Ireland, bringing the rainforest to life as a character in itself. The documentary's pacing feels almost hypnotic—moments linger, allowing the viewer to absorb the sights, sounds, and rituals depicted. It’s both an ethnographic study and a form of lyrical expressionism, beautifully melding the everyday with the transcendental. The practical effects, often just the raw beauty of nature and traditional practices, create an atmosphere that feels genuine and poignant. The performances, if you can call them that, are authentic and resonate with a raw emotion that really pulls you in. It's a fascinating peek into a world not often seen.
