How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A languorous, sensory immersion in adolescent summer freedom during China's Cultural Revolution, where a gang of unsupervised boys navigate desire, friendship, and the hazy boundary between innocence and recklessness. It's less about plot than mood, a wistful, dreamlike recollection of youth's fleeting thrill.
