How It Feels

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

A disorienting descent into a mind fractured by dementia, where the film's perspective splinters alongside its protagonist so you experience his confusion and distress firsthand. Emotionally exhausting and deeply uncomfortable, it demands total surrender to profound loss.
