How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Sicilian cop's investigation into a murder unravels into a suffocating study of how institutional corruption and mob power can compromise even those sworn to fight it. Grim and quietly unsettling.
