How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gritty, unflinching portrait of life at Rome's margins, where a man with no skills and fewer options watches his precarious existence collapse. It's neorealist cinema that finds tragedy not in melodrama but in the mundane desperation of those the city has forgotten.
