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 the fractured mind of a Vietnam vet as reality dissolves into nightmare; the film itself becomes disorienting, never letting you settle into what's real and what's torment.
