“Shadowland” is a haunting journey into the heart of darkness that masquerades as enlightenment — a chilling exposé of a false prophet.”
To say that the new documentary from director Otso Tiainen (written by Tiainen and Kalle Kinnunen), Shadowland, took me to places I was woefully unprepared for would be a monumental understatement.
Though the filmmakers set out to make a film about hope, faith, and personal reinvention, they ended up making something far darker and more profound.
It began as an earnest exploration of the stunning landscape of Montségur, in an area known as “The Zone,” and the esoteric and occult religious community that believes it to be a spiritual place between worlds.
But a story about a community became a story about one man — a man eager to center himself in the story and use belief for his personal benefit.
