How It Feels

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

A gently absurdist portrait of one monk's chaotic day, told in a single unbroken take that feels like a long meditation punctuated by unexpected moments of joy and oddness. The formal constraint becomes a kind of spiritual practice, asking you to stay present with whatever unfolds.
