How It Feels

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

A moody gangster-romance that treats its criminal underworld with the stylistic sophistication of the Japanese New Wave, watching two damaged souls find connection amid violence and danger. It's formally restrained but psychologically intense, more interested in mood and character than plot.
