How It Feels

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

A layered meditation on how art grapples with historical trauma, told through nested narratives that blur the line between the story being made and the lives making it. Intellectually demanding and emotionally austere, it asks difficult questions about representation, denial, and who has the right to tell certain stories.
