How It Feels

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

An intimate portrait of an elderly woman reckoning with her unwilling proximity to evil, this film traces the gap between what she witnessed and what she understood. It's both a historical document and a meditation on memory's instability.
