How It Feels

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

A haunting descent into the artistic obsession of a grieving man who finds dark companionship in an otherworldly being. The film unfolds as a meditation on loss and creation, growing increasingly grotesque and tender in equal measure.
