In some ways koas is about the empathy and beauty of understanding between humans but it also sometimes feels dragged out to meet the 3 hour runtime.
Im glad its so long but I don't think it was all worth it, its still good as it has many great performances and stories.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dreamlike odyssey through five interconnected Sicilian tales that move from tragic to grotesque to darkly tender, held together by a sense of inevitable loss. The film feels less like narrative cinema and more like visiting a gallery of haunted memories.
