How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow, hypnotic film about urban alienation where two drifting men find a peculiar fixation that deepens their estrangement from the world around them. It's less a mystery to solve than a portrait of disconnection rendered through strange, sustained images.
