Lostage is a curious exploration of identity and tradition, set against the backdrop of a superstitious village. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as Jakob, who is actually a woman, wrestles with her imposed role in the community. The isolation depicted on her farm adds to the sense of despair and duty. The atmosphere is thick with folklore, giving a haunting vibe that feels almost tangible. The performances are raw, especially in how Jakob navigates her dual existence. It's not just about gender; it's about how society clings to archaic beliefs. The practical effects are minimal yet impactful, lending a sense of realism to the unfolding drama. There’s a haunting beauty in its stillness and quiet moments.
