How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A painterly framing-device story of a love that defies social shame and village cruelty. The artist's retrospective narration gives the film a elegiac, almost mythic quality, watching two people persecuted by their community find solace in each other, told with the formal beauty of a canvas.
