How It Feels

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

A stark, unflinching examination of desire and disconnection that prioritizes physical brutality over emotional catharsis. This is cinema that observes sexual dysfunction with anthropological coldness, demanding the viewer confront discomfort rather than resolve it.
