How It Feels

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

A haunting meditation on aging, celebrity, and the loss of self, where a desperate actress's choice to have her image immortalized in a digital archive spirals into an existential nightmare. The film moves between live-action realism and kaleidoscopic animation, creating a disorienting, deeply strange experience that feels more like a fever dream than conventional sci-fi.
