How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A cunningly layered portrait of performance and authenticity, following a woman who inhabited a literary fiction so completely that the line between pretense and self dissolved. It's a meditation on how we construct identity and the cost of living inside someone else's invention.
