How It Feels

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

A severe, introspective portrait of a man grappling with his atheism and autonomy as cancer forces him to confront what his life has meant. Watching feels less like narrative momentum and more like bearing witness to someone unraveling their own convictions.
