How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A disquieting psychological spiral where a man discovers his doppelgänger and becomes consumed by the need to know what it means. Watching it feels like being trapped in someone else's nightmare, where reality and delusion blur into something profoundly destabilizing.
