How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping portrait of a woman reinventing herself in colonial Africa, luxuriating in both the grandeur of the landscape and the bittersweet complexity of passion, ambition, and belonging. It's a film that moves with the patient, deliberate pacing of someone recounting a life that has already passed into memory.
