How It Feels

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

A languorous colonial-era portrait of a man undone by his own delusions, watching the gap between his grand desires and their consequences widen with each scene. Beautifully composed but demanding in its slow unflinching gaze.
