How It Feels

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

A delicate portrait of two men watching their relationship dissolve in an unfamiliar city, rendered with tenderness but no comfort. The film moves at the speed of heartbreak, quiet, observational, and difficult to watch.

my first wong kar-wai film and its a good one.
a film about a relationship between two men that begins to fall and shatter, its sad to see.
the film lets us know that they both do love eachother but the personalities also clash. its beautifully tragic in how love can sometimes fade.
