How It Feels

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

A hypnotic study of artistic obsession and desire set in a Provençal villa, where a reclusive painter's resurrection of a decades-old work becomes a slow-burning power struggle. Nearly four hours of bristling, barely-contained tension and exquisite visual meditation on creation, the body, and what we demand from those around us.
