How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow, deliberate psychological study of adoration curdled into resentment, where the act of murder becomes less a moment of action than the culmination of a strangling emotional descent. The film luxuriates in the space between legend and the hollow person beneath it.
