How It Feels

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

A deliberately provocative, boundary-testing piece that strips away social performance to examine the body and desire without flinching. Watching it is like being locked in a room with uncomfortable truths.

fairly interesting, i applaud how it doesn't shy away from both bodies of men and woman.
sex is something we think we understand but maybe we don't, it works in strange ways and makes us act like were somebody else or maybe its our true nature that finally appears through sex.
the film holds that weight, the power and weight of sex and displays such an inflinching portrayal of it,
anatomy of hell might not be for everyone but its definitely a movie you could talk about for a long period of time.
