How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply uncomfortable portrait of transactional desire and colonial power dynamics on a beach paradise, where the camera lingers on transactions and degradation without moral distance. Ulrich Seidl's filmmaking makes complicity visible rather than forgivable.
