How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A fiercely intelligent clash of wills between a cult deprogrammer and his target in the Australian outback, where seduction and ideology become indistinguishable. By turns funny, unsettling, and genuinely strange, a film that delights in subverting the power dynamics you think you know.
