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 language, identity, and what it means to become human, presented with austere precision and profound strangeness. Watching Kaspar discover the world, and the world discover him, is unsettling and deeply melancholic.
