How It Feels

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

A sparse, relentless chase through the countryside as two boys flee their captors in a film that finds horror in silence and the vast indifference of the landscape. The film's visual restraint and pacing make every moment feel like a narrowing trap.
