How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A philosophical meditation wrapped in pulp noir, where a solitary assassin lives by an ancient code in a modern city that holds no place for him. It's hypnotic and elegiac, part spiritual rumination, part inevitable tragedy.
