How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting exploration of identity and self conducted through the lens of a man literally becoming someone else. The film's cool formalism and psychological tension create an unsettling meditation on who we are beneath the surface.
