How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gentle, digressive meditation on a man's impossible struggle to honor a debt that becomes a mirror for his fight against himself. The film moves through Paris with the spare, unhurried pace of its protagonist's days, finding pathos and small graces in failure.
