How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A restless nightlong descent through an aging writer's mind, where memory and invention blur into a sardonic, exhausted meditation on family pain and the act of writing itself. Intellectually sharp but emotionally raw, a film that watches consciousness work, uneasily.
