How It Feels

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

A methodical, atmospheric thriller about an assassin finding unexpected moments of connection in a quiet Italian village, shot through with dread and the weight of his past. It's a slow burn that prizes mood and restraint over action, watching a dangerous man caught between his profession and the possibility of something else.
