How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meditation on the parallel lives of two towering intellects shaped by radically different obsessions, one drawn outward to map the world, the other inward to unlock its mathematical secrets. The film moves through their lives with the careful precision of its subjects themselves.
