How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting meditation on death and familial failure, told in suffocating close quarters within a blood-red mansion. Bergman's film sits with the quiet desperation of women unable to reach each other even in the face of terminal illness.
