How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A theatrical fever dream where history, politics, and mental anguish collide on a stage within an asylum. This is immersive, deliberately disorienting cinema that demands your full attention and challenges what you think performance should do.
