Some complained to Lasley that the final shot runs too long. Leaving in the uncomfortable tracking shot gives 'Welcome To the Enclave' a new voice above just irony and satire, elevating it.
It's a beautiful mess, an apocalyptic dream, a journey through abandoned ideas hijacked by cruelty, leaving glitches and disturbing imagery, transitioning viewers from laughter to a 'I Am Legend' scenario.
In the best way, Lasley's film reminded of a 'Kids In the Hall' sketch, with characters played in drag having the same result. Palughi commits fully to both roles with keen humor.
This film was chosen to close a festival block, leaving viewers intrigued and wanting to rewatch it immediately, showing the impact of maintaining mystique and curiosity within storytelling.
The project behind the film evolved over years, exploring themes of white spiritualism's colonization through landscapes, reflecting the journey of a woman finding herself at Big Bend National Park.
