How It Feels

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

A nightmarish visual sermon on death and renewal rendered in grainy black-and-white abstraction: deliberately obscure, viscerally disturbing, and wholly uninterested in conventional storytelling or viewer comfort.
