How It Feels

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

A lonely man drifts through a series of encounters with his past in search of answers that may not exist, finding strange comedy in the quiet spaces between moments. It's a film about stagnation and the impossibility of ever truly knowing what happened, told with deadpan precision.
