How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A luminous, emotionally generous film about how grief cracks us open and draws us toward kindred wounded spirits. Almodóvar transforms mourning into an act of connection and reinvention, woven through with dark comedy and melodramatic flourishes that feel utterly alive.
