How It Feels

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

A methodical descent into moral indifference and existential numbness, where a man's emotional disconnection from life becomes increasingly ominous. Watching Meursault drift through his days is claustrophobic and disquieting, even as nothing visibly happens.
