How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A devastating portrait of a woman's systematic destruction across decades, told through fragmented memories that accumulate into a portrait of inexorable decline. Mizoguchi crafts a film of almost unbearable emotional weight, where each cruel turn of fortune feels both deeply personal and inevitable.
