How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow-burn French noir that uses an unlikely friendship to explore suspicion and guilt in a provincial town haunted by violent crime. The film's creeping dread comes not from action, but from the terrible possibility of knowing someone capable of the unthinkable.
