How It Feels

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

A brutal confrontation between a hardened loan shark and the mother who abandoned him, exploring whether violence and pain can ever lead to absolution. Director Ki-duk Kim crafts a deliberately transgressive moral reckoning that trades conventional catharsis for something far more unsettling.
