How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut psychological standoff between a desperate man and a cynical newsman, where a hostage situation becomes ratings gold and both players lose themselves in the spectacle. It's a sharp critique of media exploitation with mounting dread.
