How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A psychologically tense nightmare about the terror of desire and the curse of difference, told through suggestion and shadow rather than spectacle. The uncanny lurks in every shadow, in the hiss of a cat, the rustle of fabric, as a woman's deepest fears about love become terrifyingly real.
