How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A restless young man drifts into an affair with an older woman, then falls for her daughter, setting off a tragicomedy of desire, manipulation, and half-understood rebellion that captures the disorientation of standing at adulthood's threshold. It's funny and queasy in equal measure, anchored by a famous score that burrows under your skin.
