How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A monumental silent epic about the unbearable weight of secrets within a makeshift family, unfolding across seven hours with almost unbearable emotional intensity. Gance's obsession with movement and mechanical beauty transforms a simple domestic tragedy into something mythic and devastating.
