How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic psychological thriller where an innocent American's idealism becomes a liability in a fractured postwar Germany still haunted by Nazi ghosts. The film spirals into moral corruption and conspiracy, using hypnotic filmmaking to trap you in its protagonist's growing paranoia.
