How It Feels

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

A hypnotic 29-minute meditation on memory and desire told through still photographs, where a man trapped in time becomes fatally obsessed with a moment from his past. Its spare, haunting form makes the emotional devastation cut deeper than any conventional narrative could.
