How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visually sumptuous descent into madness following a gifted but fundamentally broken man whose pursuit of perfection corrupts into something monstrous. The film treats its disturbing material with operatic weight and sensory precision, demanding patience but rewarding it with an unforgettable vision of genius turned predatory.
