How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately paced, mythically-tinged study of cultural collision as modern industrialization encroaches on an isolated island community. Shoji Imamura unfolds the encounter with anthropological care and unflinching attention to the damage wrought by outsider intervention.
