How It Feels

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

A haunting, deliberately paced meditation on guilt and political manipulation wrapped in a dystopian fairy tale. The film moves with operatic slowness through its protagonist's entanglement with forces far larger than his grief, leaving an indelible sense of moral ambiguity and dread.
