How It Feels

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

A sweeping, epic meditation on the price of making others happy while your own heart breaks. This is cinema as emotional endurance, nearly four and a half hours spent with a man who performs joy as a profession while living in quiet devastation.
