How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A beautifully composed murder mystery that operates as much as a meditation on lost love and unhealed historical wounds as it does a legal thriller. The trial becomes a vehicle for excavating both a crime and the deep prejudices embedded in a small post-war community.
