How It Feels

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

A restless portrait of urban ennui and thwarted aspiration, following a successful but deeply unsatisfied middle-class manager as the trappings of achievement close in around him. It's a slow-burning examination of how material success can feel like a trap with no exit.
