How It Feels

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

A cutting examination of bourgeois indifference wrapped in domestic dysfunction, where a privileged family's private traumas unfold in willful blindness to the humanitarian catastrophe literally on their doorstep. Haneke's precise filmmaking turns comfort into complicity.
