How It Feels

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

A shimmering, dreamlike drift through the alienation of success and desire. Terrence Malick's camera treats Los Angeles like a fever dream, where a man's external victories feel increasingly hollow as he chases meaning through romance and excess.
