How It Feels

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

A punishing, deliberately provocative descent into human depravity and existential despair, where the filmmaking itself feels designed to alienate as much as it reveals. This is extreme cinema that uses shock not for sensation but as a philosophical statement about meaning, suffering, and mortality.
