How It Feels

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

A hallucinatory descent into a nightmare fairy tale where the boundary between dream and reality dissolves, and adolescent desire becomes a dark, predatory force. Carter's subversive storytelling transforms familiar warnings into something altogether stranger and more unsettling.
