How It Feels

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

A man sits at a desk and spins interlocking tales of his own vanity and Cambodia's tragedy with sardonic humor and unsettling intimacy. It's a meditation on storytelling itself, how we make meaning from chaos and how personal adventure stories sit uneasily against historical atrocity.
