How It Feels

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

A hypnotic, dreamlike descent into collective despair as a small town becomes psychologically unmoored by a lost secret. Visionary and unsettling, it feels less like conventional narrative than a fever dream about knowledge, loss, and the fragility of civilization.
