How It Feels

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

A hallucinatory, sensory-overloaded journey through a woman's fraught relationship with her own body across three stages of life. Amer assaults the senses with vivid visual textures and mounting psychological unease rather than conventional narrative momentum.
