How It Feels

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

A caustic portrait of a man unmoored by revolution, drifting through Havana in a state of romantic delusion and moral numbness. The film turns his passive observation into an indictment of his own vanity and disconnection.
