How It Feels

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

A volatile descent into criminality that watches three aimless young men fall under the thrall of a manipulative girl with anarchist ambitions. Tsui Hark crafts an increasingly claustrophobic thriller that's as interested in psychology and moral compromise as it is in acts of violence.
