How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately theatrical, chorus-inflected meditation on Arthurian legend that prioritizes philosophical inquiry and formal experimentation over narrative momentum. Watching it feels like witnessing a medieval mystery play filtered through a modernist sensibility.
