How It Feels

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

A visually baroque and deliberately mythic retelling that reframes a legend of horror as a tragedy of a brilliant woman destroyed by patriarchal greed and conspiracy. The film moves at the pace of a darkening dream, steeped in surreal imagery and Eastern European atmosphere.
