How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A psychologically unsettling portrait of fascination curdling into complicity, where a gifted teenager's fixation on a Nazi fugitive becomes a slow descent into moral corruption. The power dynamic between predator and prey becomes increasingly twisted as each feeds the other's darkest impulses.
