How It Feels

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

A slow, visually arresting meditation on obsession and moral decay as a priest's mission to document and convert an Icelandic community becomes a descent into spiritual and ethical compromise. The austere landscape itself becomes an antagonist, stripping away pretense and exposing the violence at the heart of colonial endeavor.
