How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dark, sensual reimagining of Frankenstein that pivots from Gothic horror to a twisted love story, watching a mad doctor's obsession with controlling and shaping his artificial creation into an idealized woman. It's visually sumptuous but deeply uncomfortable, a meditation on desire, agency, and the violence lurking beneath romantic possession.
