How It Feels

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

A gently comic portrait of artistic yearning and unrequited longing, where a young woman's admiration for an older artist unravels into a more complicated truth about herself and desire. It's tender and quietly strange, moving at its own unhurried pace.
