How It Feels

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

A fractured, dreamlike journey through one man's memories in reverse, where the machinery of time travel becomes a metaphor for the mind's inability to escape the past. Resnais transforms sci-fi into intimate psychological territory, leaving you untethered and haunted.
