How It Feels

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

A relentless portrait of cruelty and desperation in rural France, where a young girl's suffering accumulates with devastating inevitability. Bresson strips away sentiment to show the grinding weight of poverty, neglect, and social indifference on a resilient but ultimately broken child.
