How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hallucinatory descent into body horror and psychological unraveling, performed with the disorienting choreography of butoh. This is transgressive surrealism that feels less like narrative and more like stepping into a diseased dream.
