How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling, ritualistic examination of a Japanese family's decay that mirrors the nation's own post-war unraveling. Watching it feels like witnessing the slow collapse of an entire world through the microcosm of ancestral obligation and inherited shame.
