How It Feels

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

A calculated descent into moral corruption observed with cold precision, where a wealthy boy's video obsession metastasizes into violence and his parents' complicity becomes its own horror. Haneke's clinical eye turns the family home into a suffocating chamber of denial.
