How It Feels

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

A classically wrought revenge tragedy where exiled siblings return to settle blood debts, unfolding with the weight and inevitability of fate. This is Greek tragedy rendered as stark, electrifying drama, beautiful and deeply uncomfortable.
